We derive, in this paper, the asymptotic properties of least squares estimators and sequential least squares estimators of the parameters of a chirp-like signal model. The asymptotic least-squares estimator As shown by GMT (1982, 1985) and Chamberlain (1982, 1984), many estimation problems can be formalized by means of a set of m + r relationships f(ft, 0) = 0 between the m parameters of interest f and the n parameters 0. If Var b X converges to zero, then b is mean square consistent. Bager, A., Roman, M., Algedih, M., & Mohammed, B. }'Dn that introduce statistical methods that are applicable to a variety of economic It is shown that ALS can be used to obtain asymptotically efficient estimates for a large range of econometric problems.

This paper is concerned with the large sample efficiency of the asymptotic leastsquares (ALS) estimators introduced by Gouriroux, Monfort, and Trognon (1982, 1985) and Chamberlain (1982, 1984). ALS is applied to the amount remitted by Iraqi immigrants in Romania to their home country demonstrating the potential of the method in the estimation of censored regression models.

There are no real details on the CLT, j. illustrate that there is an asymptotic least squares estimator that is asymptotically equivalent to the maximum likelihood estimator. However, the asymptotic theory of the LS method till now falls short of asymptotic representation and limiting distribution, which greatly limits the applicability of this method, especially in some applications where constructing confidence intervals or conducting hypothesis testing are of practical relevance. 0000002757 00000 n Check out using a credit card or bank account with.

The condition is proved to be necessary for the existence of any weakly consistent estimator, including the least squares estimator. 0000026556 00000 n In Cambridge university press., Hagen-Zanker, J., & Siegel, M. (2007). in statistics, ordinary least squares ( ols) is a type of linear least squares method for choosing the unknown parameters in a linear regression model (with fixed level-one effects of a linear function of a set of explanatory variables) by the principle of least squares: minimizing the sum of the squares of the differences between the observed Proposition If Assumptions 1, 2, 3 and 4 are satisfied, then the OLS estimator is asymptotically multivariate normal with mean equal to and asymptotic covariance matrix equal to that is, where has been defined above. 65-71. doi: 10.5923/j.statistics.20180802.05. With well-behaved regressors, (X'X n)-1 will converge to a constant matrix. Gourieroux, C. (2000). This paper considers the least-squares estimator of a nonlinear regression problem where the regression function is a sum of sinusoids with unknown amplitudes and frequencies.
