Salehi and Scheidt have derived several Wold-Cramer concordance theorems for q-variate stationary processes over discrete groups. This paper characterizes the concordance of the Wold decomposition with respect to families arising in the interpolation problem and the Cramer decomposition for non-full-rank q-variate stationary processes over certain…

Considers some characterizations of the multivariate normal distribution based on properties of linear functions of dependent vector variables. (RC)

In this paper, the author gives a review of the literature on complex multivariate distributions. Some new results on these distributions are also given. Finally, the author discusses the applications of the complex multivariate distributions in the area of the inference on multiple time series. (Author)

Recent results of Bloomfield and Watson and Knott are used to derive a class of union-intersection tests for sphericity from likelihood ratio tests of independence of two sets of variates. It is shown that the ordinary likelihood ratio test for sphericity has a natural union-intersection interpretation. (Author/RC)

The distribution of the likelihood ratio test for testing the reality of the covariance matrix of a complete multivariate normal distribution is investigated. (Author/RC)

Vector sum of a white noise in an unknown hyperspace and an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process in an unknown line is observed through sharp linear test functions over a finite time span. Parameters associated with white noise are determinable and index measure-equivalence classes in relevant sample space. Intraclass relative density provides a basis for…

A multiple time series is defined as the sum of an autoregressive process on a line and independent Gaussian white noise or a hyperplane that goes through the origin and intersects the line at a single point. This process is a multiple autoregressive time series in which the regression matrices satisfy suitable conditions. For a related article…

An asymptotic theory is developed for a new time series model introduced in TM 502 289. An algorithm for computing estimates of the parameters of this time series model is given, and it is shown that these estimators are asymptotically efficient in that they have the same asymptotic distribution as the maximum likelihood estimators.
