AbstractConsider the additive effects outliers (A.O.) model where one observes , with The sequence of r.v.s is independent of and , are i.i.d. with d.f. , where the d.f.s Ln, n ≦ 0, are not necessarily known and εj's are i.i.d.. This paper discusses the asymptotic behavior of functional least squares estimators under the above model. Uniform consistency and uniform strong consistency of these estimators are proven. The weak convergence of these estimators to a Gaussian process and their asymptotic biases are also discussed under the above A.O. model.

This paper studies a heteroscedastic partially linear regression model in which the errors are asymptotically almost negatively associated (AANA, in short) random variables with not necessarily identical distribution and zero mean. Under some mild conditions, we establish the strong consistency of least squares estimators, weighted least squares estimators, and the ultimate weighted least squares estimators for the unknown parameter, respectively. In addition, the strong consistency of the estimator for nonparametric component is also investigated. The results derived in the paper include the corresponding ones of independent random errors and some dependent random errors as special cases. At last, two simulations are carried out to study the numerical performance of the strong consistency for least squares estimators and weighted least squares estimators of the unknown parametric and nonparametric components in the model.

The stationary autoregressive model but with a long-tailed error distribution is analysed using the method of functional least squares. A family of estimators indexed by a real parameter is obtained and uniform consistency and weak convergence established. The optimum member of the family is chosen to have minimum variance with respect to the parameter, and the parameter value chosen detects and adjusts for long-tailed error distributions. Results of a simulation are given.
