An important problem, arising in connection with the estimation of mathematical expectation of a homogeneous random field X(x1, ···, xn) in Rn by means of the arithmetic mean of observed values, is to determine the number of observations for which the variance of the estimate attains its minimum. Vilenkin [2] has shown, that in the case of a stationary random process X(x) such a finite number exists, provided that the covariance function satisfies certain conditions.

Given a d-dimensional random field and a Poisson process independent of it, suppose that it is possible to observe only the location of each point of the Poisson process and the value of the random field at that (randomly located) point. Non-parametric estimators of the mean and covariance function of the random field—based on observation over compact sets of single realizations of the Poisson samples—are constructed. Under fairly mild conditions these estimators are consistent (in various senses) as the set of observation becomes unbounded in a suitable manner. The state estimation problem of minimum mean-squared error reconstruction of unobserved values of the random field is also examined.

Hidden Periodicities

The model of vibration signal of gearbox pair in the form of periodically correlated non-stationary random process is considered. It is shown that hidden periodicities in biperiodic correlated random process mean and covariance function, characterizing the vibrations of gearbox pair can be detected using the component and least square methods. Seven particular cases of the bi-rhythmic hidden periodicity for different modulation modes are analyzed.

The Mean

Summary Estimation of mean and covariance functions is fundamental for functional data analysis. While this topic has been studied extensively in the literature, a key assumption is that there are enough data in the domain of interest to estimate both the mean and covariance functions. In this paper, we investigate mean and covariance estimation for functional snippets in which observations from a subject are available only in an interval of length strictly (and often much) shorter than the length of the whole interval of interest. For such a sampling plan, no data is available for direct estimation of the off-diagonal region of the covariance function. We tackle this challenge via a basis representation of the covariance function. The proposed estimator enjoys a convergence rate that is adaptive to the smoothness of the underlying covariance function, and has superior finite-sample performance in simulation studies.

AbstractConsider an urn containing balls labeled with integer values. Define a discrete-time random process by drawing two balls, one at a time and with replacement, and noting the labels. Add a new ball labeled with the sum of the two drawn labels. This model was introduced by Siegmund and Yakir (2005) Ann. Prob.33, 2036 for labels taking values in a finite group, in which case the distribution defined by the urn converges to the uniform distribution on the group. For the urn of integers, the main result of this paper is an exponential limit law. The mean of the exponential is a random variable with distribution depending on the starting configuration. This is a novel urn model which combines multi-drawing and an infinite type of balls. The proof of convergence uses the contraction method for recursive distributional equations.
