Parametric estimation of superimposed signals
The problem of parametric estimation of signals composed of a weighted sum of functions drawn from a known parametric family with unknown parameters in white Gaussian noise was studied. New closed-form expressions of the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) for parametric estimation of superimposed signals in …

Non parametric Estimation of high-frequency Volatility and Correlation Dynamics
… of the Fourier estimator, a newly proposed nonparametric methodology to measure ex-post volatility and cross-volatilities as functions of time, when financial assets are observed at different highfrequency levels over the day. The estimator has the peculiar feature to employ the observed data …

Parametric Estimation of the Heston Model under the Indirect Observability Framework
… the consistency and robustness of statistical estimation of parameters in the chosen stochastic model. Three parts are presented in this dissertation. In part I (Chapter 2) of this dissertation we show that the Method of Moments can be used to derive consistent and robust estimators when it is …

Mitigation of Interference From Iridium Satellites by Parametric Estimation and Subtraction
Radio astronomy is the science of observing the universe at radio frequencies. In recent years, radio astronomy has faced a growing interference problem as radio frequency (RF) bandwidth has become an increasingly scarce commodity. Communication systems such as Earth orbiting communication …

Parametric Estimation of Stochastic Fading Channels and Their Role in Adaptive Radios
… Furthermore, computations of the best-known estimation techniques are often iterative, tedious, and complex. This thesis takes a renewed look at estimating fading parameters for the Nakagami-m, Rice-K, and Weibull distributions, specifically by showing that the need to solve transcendental …

Consistency and Convergence of Non-parametric Estimation of Drift and Diffusion Coefficients in SDEs from Long Stationary Time-series
We study the efficiency of non-parametric estimation of stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motion (i.e. diffusions) from long stationary trajectories. First, we introduce estimators based on conditional expectation which is motivated by the definition of drift and diffusion …

Data-driven Techniques For Estimation And Stochastic Reduction Of Multiscale Systems
Parametric estimation of stochastic processes is one of the most widely used techniques for obtaining effective models, given a discrete dataset. Often, the experimental or observational datasets are not explicitly generated by the underlying stochastic model and are, thus, expected to agree with …

Query processing in heterogeneous distributed database management systems
… query expressed over a conceptual schema; (3) An estimation methodology to derive the intermediate result sizes of the database operations; (4) A query decomposition algorithm to generate an efficient sequence of the basic database operations to answer the query. This research addressed the first …

Propulsion considerations for supersonic oblique flying wings
… computational tools (MSES), linearized theory, parametric estimation, and quasi D thermodynamic cycle analysis. Lift-to-drag ratio, thrust specific fuel consumption, and nacelle wave drag were examined as intermediate figures of merit that would ultimately impact the final performance …

In-sample forecasting: structured models and reserving
… reserving practice can be understood as a non-parametric estimation approach in a structured model setting. The forecast of future claims is done without the use of exposure information, i.e., without knowledge about the number of underwritten policies. New statistical estimation techniques and …

A function space approach to the generalized nonlinear model with applications to frequency domain spectral estimation
… (1983) outlined the theory of quasi-likelihood estimation in generalized linear models. Chiu (1988) showed that an iterated, reweighted least squares procedure applied to the periodogram produces estimates of spectral density model parameters for Gaussian univariate time series which have the …

ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION: THE CASE OF SAUDI ARABIA WITH REFERENCE TO RICH NATURAL RESOURCE COUNTRIES
… natural resource countries adapt the same non- parametric estimation results produced by Imb & Wacziarg (2003). Indeed, it will be interesting to investigate whether natural resource countries will have a u shape relationship between their level of diversification and their per capita revenue as …

Systematic asset allocation using flexible views for South African markets
… 144, 145]. The HS-FP framework is a flexible non-parametric estimation approach that considers future asset class behavior to be conditional on time and market environments, and derives a forward-looking distribution that is consistent with this view while remaining as close as possible to the …

What About Short Run?
… model to guide through the predictability estimation with much more efficiency gain. Finally I decompose the equity risk premium into two short-lived parts --- tail risk and diffusive risk --- and propose a semi-parametric estimation method for each part. The results are arranged in the …

Essays in Economic *Growth and Asset Pricing
… specification in previous studies. Using semi-parametric estimation procedures we find ample evidence of pairwise convergence among 15 OECD countries. This result is contrary to the literature that uses unit roots and cointegration tests to analyze income convergence. In chapter 3, we propose a …

Use of Inbred Strains for the Study of Individual Differences in Pain Related Phenotypes in the Mouse
… studies of pain. Linear modeling allowed parametric estimation of some of the effects, and results of the CART analysis were confirmed in a balanced prospective experiment. In the second study, the possibility of detecting genetic loci contributing to trait variability through the use of …

Three Essays in Applied Microeconometrics
… for a single index binary outcome model in semi-parametric estimation. The semiparametric estimator examined does not rely on any distributional assumption, but it still relies on the single-index assumption. The violation of this assumption creates a source of heteroscedasticity. I extend a set …
