We establish a moderate deviation principle for the log-likelihood function of the diffusion model. Then applying the moderate deviation estimates to hypothesis testing for signal detection problem we give a decision region such that its error probability of the second kind tends to zero with faster speed than the error probability of the first kind when the error probability of the first kind is approximated by e-ατ(T), where α〉 0, τ(T) = o(T) and τ(T)→∞ as the observation time T goes to infinity.展开更多

The estimators of parameter β0 are derived by using the nearest neighbor-generalized randomly weighted least absolute deviation (LAD for short) method. The resulting estimator of the unknown vector 30 is shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal. In addition, the results facilitate the construction of confidence regions and the hypothesis testing for the unknown parameters. Extensive simulations are reported, showing that the proposed method works well in practical settings. The proposed methods are also applied to a data set from the study of an AIDS clinical trial group.展开更多
