  • The estimation of time-series data is fundamental process in many data analysis cases. However, the unwanted measurement error is usually added to true data, so that the exact estimation depends on efficient method to eliminate the error components. The wavelet transform method nowadays is expected to improve the accuracy of estimation, because it is able to decompose and analyze the data in various resolutions. Therefore, the wavelet based Kalman filter method for the estimation of time-series data is proposed in this paper. The wavelet transform separates the data in accordance with frequency bandwidth, and the detail wavelet coefficient reflects the stochastic process of error components. This property makes it possible to obtain the covariance of measurement error. We attempt the estimation of true data through recursive Kalman filtering algorithm with the obtained covariance value. The procedure is verified with the fundamental example of Brownian walk process.

  • Updating algorithms are studied for the basic statistics (mean, variance). For a linear model, a recursive formulae for least squares estimators of regression coefficients, residual sum of squares and variance-covariance matrix are also studied. Hotelling's $T^2$ statistics can be calculated recursively using the recursive formulae of mean vector and variance-covariance matrix without computing the sample variance-covariance matrix at each stage.

  • In this study, we consider the likelihood ratio test for the covariance matrix of the multivariate normal data. For this, we propose a method for obtaining null distributions of the likelihood ratio statistics by the Monte-Carlo approach when it is difficult to derive the exact null distributions theoretically. Then we compare the performance and precision of distributions obtained by the asymptotic normality and the Monte-Carlo method for the likelihood ratio test through a simulation study. Finally we discuss some interesting features related to the likelihood ratio test for the covariance matrix and the Monte-Carlo method for obtaining null distributions for the likelihood ratio statistics.

  • Employing the covariance adjustment technique, we show that in the system of two seemingly unrelated multivariate regressions the estimator of regression coefficients can be expressed as a matrix power series, and conclude that the matrix series only has a unique simpler form. In the case that the covariance matrix of the system is unknown, we define a two-stage estimator for the regression coefficients which is shown to be unique and unbiased. Numerical simulations are also presented to illustrate its superiority over the ordinary least square estimator. Also, as an example we apply our results to the seemingly unrelated growth curve models.

  • Assume that $X_1, X_2, \cdots, X_N$ are iid p-dimensional normal random vectors ($p \geq 3$) with unknown covariance matrix. The problem of estimating multivariate normal mean vector in an empirical Bayes situation is considered. Empirical Bayes estimators, obtained by Bayes treatmetn of the covariance matrix, are presented. It is shown that the estimators are minimax, each of which domainates teh maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), when the loss is nonsingular quadratic loss. We also derive approximate credibility region for the mean vector that takes advantage of the fact that the MLE is not the best estimator.

  • The main purpose of this paper is to verify the effectiveness of a high resolution direction finding method, so called the‘averaged MUSIC’. This method uses a new sample array covariance matrix that consists of diagonal components obtained by taking averages of the diagonal component values of the sample covariance matrix for the MUSIC. The paper shows that the proposed method performs higher resolved direction-of-arrival estimation and better resolution probability than the MUSIC in such cases as low signal-to-noise ratio, when the number of sensors used is finite, based on the statistical analysis.

  • Properties of multivariate Shewhart and EWMA (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average) control charts for monitoring variance-covariance matrix of quality variables are investigated. Performances of the proposed charts are evaluated for matched fixed sampling interval (FSI) and variable sampling interval (VSI) charts in terms of average time to signal (ATS) and average number of samples to signal (ANSS). Average number of swiches (ANSW) of the proposed VSI charts are also investigated.

  • This paper analyses the stochastic nature of the Permanent Income Hypothesis (PIH) by specifying the variance-covariance structure of PIH based on Hall and Mishkin[3]. Maximum likelihood is employed to estimate the model by explicitely incorporating the heteroscedastic nature of the data into the likelihood. The data used are individual Korean household consumption and income data. The results indicate that the data are generally consistent with the Permanent Income Hypothesis, and about 11 percent of the total variation in consumption may be attributable to the excess sensitivity of consumption to income.

  • This research is to find a design D that minimizes forecast variance in d dimensions over the candidate space ${\chi}$. We want a robust design since we may not know the specific covariance structure. We seek a design that minimizes a coverage criterion and hope that this design will provide a small forecast variance even if the covariance structure is unobservable. The details of an exchange or swapping algorithm and several properties of the parameters of coverage criterion with the unknown correlation structures are discussed.
