This paper is an attempt to illustrate the generality of incidence sampling for estimating a parameter whose estimator preserves the unbiasedness of generalized symmetric means, a property which the sample covariance possesses but which the sample correlation coefficient does not. The problem of missing data is also addressed.

Consider a sequence X = (Xn: n ≥ 1) of independent and identically distributed random variables, and an independent geometrically distributed random variable M with parameter p. The random variable SM = X1 + ∙ ∙ ∙ + XM is called a geometric sum. In this paper we obtain asymptotic expansions for the distribution of SM as p ↘ 0. If EX1 > 0, the asymptotic expansion is developed in powers of p and it provides higher-order correction terms to Renyi's theorem, which states that P(pSM > x) ≈ exp(-x/EX1). Conversely, if EX1 = 0 then the expansion is given in powers of √p. We apply the results to obtain corrected diffusion approximations for the M/G/1 queue. These expansions follow in a unified way as a consequence of new uniform renewal theory results that are also developed in this paper.

Regression Theory

Summary It is well known that the sample correlation coefficient between many financial return indices exhibits substantial variation on any reasonable sampling window. This stylised fact contradicts a unit root model for the underlying processes in levels, as the statistic converges in probability to a constant under this modeling scheme. In this paper, we establish asymptotic theory for regression in local stochastic unit root (LSTUR) variables. An empirical application reveals that the new theory explains very well the instability, in both sign and scale, of the sample correlation coefficient between gold, oil, and stock return price indices. In addition, we establish spurious regression theory for LSTUR variables, which generalises the results known hitherto, as well as a theory for balanced regression in this setting.
