We introduce three new estimators of the drift parameter of a fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process. These estimators are based on modifications of the least-squares procedure utilizing the explicit formula for the process and covariance structure of a fractional Brownian motion. We demonstrate their advantageous properties in the setting of discrete-time observations with fixed mesh size, where they outperform the existing estimators. Numerical experiments by Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to confirm and illustrate theoretical findings. New estimation techniques can improve calibration of models in the form of linear stochastic differential equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion, which are used in diverse fields such as biology, neuroscience, finance and many others.

Since almost all functional relations in our geodetic models are nonlinear, it is important, especially from a statistical inference point of view, to know how nonlinearity manifests itself at the various stages of an adjustment. In this paper particular attention is given to the effect of nonlinearity on the first two moments of least squares estimators. Expressions for the moments of least squares estimators of parameters, residuals and functions derived from parameters, are given. The measures of nonlinearity are discussed both from a statistical and differential geometric point of view. Finally, our results are applied to the 2D symmetric Helmert transformation with a rotational invariant covariance structure.

AbstractIn this work, we consider the general linear model or its variants with the ordinary least squares, generalised least squares or restricted least squares estimators of the regression coefficients and variance. We propose a newly unified set of definitions for local sensitivity for both situations, one for the estimators of the regression coefficients, and the other for the estimators of the variance. Based on these definitions, we present the estimators’ sensitivity results.We include brief remarks on possible links of these definitions and sensitivity results to local influence and other existing results.

Lai and Wei (1983, Annals of Statistics 10, 154–166) state in their Theorem 1 that the estimators of the regression coefficients in the regression $y_t = x_t^' \beta + \varepsilon _{\rm{t}} $, t ∈ ℕ are almost surely (a.s.) consistent under the assumption that the minimum eigenvalue λmin(T) of $\sum\nolimits_{t = 1}^T {x_t } x'_t $ tends to infinity (a.s.) and log(λmax(T))/λmin(T) → 0 (a.s.) where λmax(T) denotes the maximal eigenvalue. Moreover the rate of convergence in this case equals $O(\root \of {\log (\lambda _{max} (T))/\lambda _{min} (T)})$. In this note xt is taken to be a particular multivariate multifrequency I(1) processes, and almost sure rates of convergence for least squares estimators are established.

This paper aims to find a statistical model for the COVID-19 spread in the United Kingdom and Canada. We used an efficient and superior model for fitting the COVID 19 mortality rates in these countries by specifying an optimal statistical model. A new lifetime distribution with two-parameter is introduced by a combination of inverted Topp-Leone distribution and modified Kies family to produce the modified Kies inverted Topp-Leone (MKITL) distribution, which covers a lot of application that both the traditional inverted Topp-Leone and the modified Kies provide poor fitting for them. This new distribution has many valuable properties as simple linear representation, hazard rate function, and moment function. We made several methods of estimations as maximum likelihood estimation, least squares estimators, weighted least-squares estimators, maximum product spacing, Crame´r-von Mises estimators, and Anderson-Darling estimators methods are applied to estimate the unknown parameters of MKITL distribution. A numerical result of the Monte Carlo simulation is obtained to assess the use of estimation methods. also, we applied different data sets to the new distribution to assess its performance in modeling data.
