<em>Performances of estimators for the mean and variance functions of a compound Poisson process having intensity obtained as an exponential of linear function are investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. The intensity function of this process is assumed to be </em>𝑒𝑥𝑝(𝛼+𝛽𝑠) <em>with </em>0&lt;𝛽&lt;<em>∞</em>, <em>where </em>𝛽 <em>is assumed to be known. In [8], estimators of the mean and variance functions of this process have been constructed and have been proved to be unbiased, weakly and strongly consistent. The objectives of this research are to check distributions of these estimators using Monte Carlo simulation and to check the convergence to </em>1−𝛼 <em>of the probabilities that the parameters are contained in the confidence intervals constructed in [11]. Results of the research are as follows. Distribution of estimators for the mean and variance functions are approximately normal. For a given significance level </em>𝛼<em>, the larger the size of observation interval, the closer the probabilities that the parameters are contained in the confidence intervals to </em>1−𝛼<em>.</em>

This article extends the fusion among various statistical methods to estimate the mean and variance functions in heteroscedastic semiparametric models when the response variable comes from a two-parameter exponential family distribution. We rely on the natural connection among smoothing methods that use basis functions with penalization, mixed models and a Bayesian Markov Chain sampling simulation methodology. The significance and implications of our strategy lies in its potential to contribute to a simple and unified computational methodology that takes into account the factors that affect the variability in the responses, which in turn is important for an efficient estimation and correct inference of mean parameters without the requirement of fully parametric models. An extensive simulation study investigates the performance of the estimates. Finally, an application using the Light Detection and Ranging technique, LIDAR, data highlights the merits of our approach.

In this paper, we focus on variational Bayesian learning deterministic optimization methods for inference in biparametric exponential models where the parameters follow semiparametric regression structures. This combination of data models and algorithms contributes to solving real-world problems and reduces the computation time. This allows both the rapid exploration of many data models and the accurate estimation of the mean and variance functions through the connection between generalized linear models and graph theory. A simulation study was carried out to assess the performance of the deterministic approximation. Finally, herein, we present an application using macroeconomic data to emphasize the benefits of the proposed approach.

The general solution of a Markov model for first-order kinetics is developed as a sum of independent, multinomially distributed random processes. Fluctuations in the mean and variance functions are discussed and shown to be unrelated in time during the early phase of the reaction. Numerical examples are presented for two- and three-component systems.
