The publication is devoted to studying asymptotic properties of statistical estimates of the distribution parameters u∈Rq of a multidimensional random stationary time series zt∈Rm, t∈ℤ satisfying the strong mixing conditions. We consider estimates u^nδ(z¯n), z¯n=(z1T,…,znT)T∈Rmn that provide in asymptotic n→∞ the maximum values for some objective functions Qn(z¯n;u), which have properties similar to the well-known property of local asymptotic normality. These estimates are constructed by solving the equations δn(z¯n;u)=0, where δn(z¯n;u) are arbitrary functions for which δn(z¯n;u)−gradhQn(z¯n;u+n−1/2h)→0(n→∞) in Pn,u(z¯n)-probability uniformly on u∈U, were U is compact in Rq. In many cases, the estimates u^nδ(z¯n) have the same asymptotic properties as well-known M-estimates defined by equations u^nQ(z¯n)=arg maxu∈UQn(z¯n;u) but often can be much simpler computationally. We consider an algorithmic method for constructing estimates u^nδ(z¯n), which is similar to the accumulation method first proposed by R. Fischer and rigorously developed by L. Le Cam. The main theoretical result of the article is the proof of the theorem, in which conditions of the asymptotic normality of estimates u^nδ(z¯n) are formulated, and the expression is proposed for their matrix of asymptotic mean-square deviations limn→∞nEn,u{(u^δ(z¯n)−u)(u^δ(z¯n)−u)T}.
