Weobtain the convergence rate for the weighted estimator of unknown function g(x) in pth-mean, which yields the convergence rate in probability.

By combining the local polynomial and least squares procedures Fan and Huang (2005) proposed a profile least squares estimator for the parametric component and established its asymptotic normality. We further show that the profile least squares estimator can achieve the law of iterated logarithm. Moreover, we study the estimators of the functions characterizing the non-linear part as well as the error variance. The strong convergence rate and the law of iterated logarithm are derived for them, respectively.展开更多

We get the EB estimators by using kernel estimation of multivariate density function and its first order partial derivatives. It is shown that the convergence rates of the EB estimators are under the condition where an integer k > 1 . is an arbitrary small number and m is the dimension of the vector Y.展开更多

By uSing the exponen- tial inequality, we present some general results on the complete convergence for arrays of rowwise NSD random variables, which improve or generalize the corresponding ones of Wang et al.

The first stage is to measure the DCP that reflects the initial difference. The second stage is to identify the convergence club of DCP. The last stage is to examine the initial factors that may affect the formation of the convergence club. Construction industry data from 30 provinces in China's Mainland from 2005 to 2016 were adopted to conduct an empirical study. The empirical results showed that (1) the arithmetic mean value of China’s provincial DCP showed an upward trend and the standard deviation showed an expanding trend.(2) There are five convergence clubs, but 13 provinces failed to converge to any club.(3) The higher the degree of construction industry marketization in 2005, the greater the probability that the provinces belong to a club with higher DCP. To improve the DCP, the effective diffusion of low-carbon construction technologies and the market-oriented reform of state-owned construction companies should be promoted. The three-stage method can also be applied to study different industries in different countries or regions.展开更多

Some wavelet estimators of the parametric component β, the non- parametric component g(t) and the variance function h(u) are given. Under some general conditions, the strong convergence rate of these wavelet estimators is O(n^(-1/3) log n). Hence our results are extensions of those results on independent random error settings.展开更多

Drawing upon B-spline estimation of g(·) and least squares estimation of β, we construct estimators of the autocovariances of {ε <SUB>i </SUB>}. The uniform strong convergence rate of these estimators to their true values is then established. These results not only are a compensation for those of [23], but also have some application in modeling error structure. When the errors {ε <SUB>i </SUB>} are an ARMA process, our result can be used to develop a consistent procedure for determining the order of the ARMA process and identifying the non-zero coeffcients of the process. Moreover, our result can be used to construct the asymptotically effcient estimators for parameters in the ARMA error process.展开更多
