Weak consistent moving block bootstrap estimator for the variance of CLS estimators in a class of bilinear models
(2008)Grahn (1995) introduced the Conditional Least Squares estimators for the class (I) of bilinear models. These estimators have a variance which is difficulty to derive analytically. In this paper we derive the conditions ... -
Weak consistent moving block bootstrap estimator of sampling distribution of CLS estimators in a class of bilinear models
(2005)Grahn, (1995) introduced the Conditional Least Squares estimators for the class (I) of bilinear models. Such estimators have a variance which is difficulty to derive analytically. The aim of the present paper is to ... -
Well-posedness, a short survey
(2007)In this paper we analyze the property of Tykhonov wellposedness in relation to other well-posedness properties which are ordinal and, as stated in the title, we give a survey on some important results on well-posedness ... -
Who and where are the co-authors? The relationship between institutional and geographical distance in scientific publications
(2014)The main goal of our research is to analyse the relationship between geographical and institutional distance in research collaboration. Given that there is institutional distance if different kinds of institutions ... -
