Formulas that determine the greatest value of mean square error and the minimax estimation for the functional are proposed for the given class of admissible processes. It is shown that one-sided moving average stationary sequence gives the greatest value of the mean square error.展开更多

The set F is fixed by imposing restrictions on the vector of first moments and on the matrix of second moments as well as on the first moment of the unknown factor determining of the covariance matrix. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived which ensure that an estimator is Γ-minimax and that a prior is least favorable in Γ.展开更多

It is assumed here that right-hand sides of equations and boundary data as well as statistical characteristics of random noises in observations are not known and belong to certain given sets in corresponding functional spaces. This leads to the necessity of introducing minimax statement of an estimation problem when optimal estimates are defined as linear, with respect to observations, estimates for which the maximum of mean square error of estimation taken over the above-mentioned sets attains minimal value. Such estimates are called minimax mean square or guaranteed estimates. We establish that the minimax mean square estimates are expressed via solutions of some systems of differential equations of special type and determine estimation errors.展开更多
