Weighted Empirical Processes in Dynamic Nonlinear Models (Paperback, 2nd ed. 2002)

This book presents a unified approach for obtaining the limiting distributions of minimum distance, M and R estimators corresponding to non-smooth underlying scores in a large class of dynamic non-linear models including ARCH models. It also discusses classes of goodness-of-t tests for fitting an error distribution in some of these models and/or fitting a regression-autoregressive function without assuming the knowledge of the error distribution. The main tool is the asymptotic equicontinuity of certain basic weighted residual empirical processes in the uniform and L2 metrics. The contents of this monograph should be useful to graduate students and research scholars in statistics, econometrics, and finance. This book is a an updated edition of the author's monograph Weighted Empirical Processes and Liner Models (IMS Lecture Notes-Monograph 21, 1992). The new edition differs from the previous one in many ways. To mention just a few: It includes asymptotically distribution free tests for fitting a regression and/or an autoregressive models; the asymptotic distributions of auto-regression quantiles and rank scores; and above all the weak convergence of the residual empirical processes useful in nonlinear ARCH models.
