  • This article considers a robust Kalman filter from the M-estimation point of view. Pak (Journal of the Korean Statistical Society, 27, 507-514, 1998) proposed a particular M-estimating function which has the data-based shaping constants. The Kalman filter with the proposed M-estimating function is considered. The structure and the estimating algorithm of the Kalman filter accompanying the M-estimating function are mentioned. Kalman filter estimates by the proposed M-estimating function are shown to be well behaved even when data are contaminated.

  • We propose a doubly robustified estimating function for the estimation of parameters in the context of ARCH models. We investigate asymptotic properties of estimators obtained as solutions of robust estimating equations. A simulation study shows that robust estimator from specified doubly robustified estimating equation provides better performance than conventional robust estimators especially under heavy-tailed distributions of innovation errors.

  • A new redescending M-estimating function is introduced. The estimators by this new redescending function attain the same level of robustness as the existing redescending M-estimators, but have less asymptotic variances than others except few cases. We have focused on estimating a location parameter, but the method can be extended for a scale estimation.

  • The estimating function method was proposed by Godambe(1985) for parameter estimation under unknown distributions for errors in the models. Threshold Autoregressive Heteroscedastic (Threshold-ARCH) models have been developed by Zakoian(1994) and Li and Li(1996) for explaining the asymmetric properties in the financial time series data. In this paper, we apply the estimating function method to the Threshold-ARCH model and show that the proposed estimators perform better than the MLE under the heavy-tailed distributions.

  • We first introduce the quasi-score estimating function and applied the quasi-score estimating function to nonlinear time series models. We proposed the M quasi-score estimating functions bounded functions for the quasi-score estimating functions. Also, we investigated the asymptotic properties of quasi-likelihood estimators and M quasi-likelihood estimators. Simulation results show that the M quasi-likelihood estimators work better than the least squares estimators under the heavy-tailed distributions

  • We investigate the influence of subjects or observations on regression coefficients of generalized estimating equations using the influence function and the derivative influence measures. The influence function for regression coefficients is derived and its sample versions are used for influence analysis. The derivative influence measures under certain perturbation schemes are derived. It can be seen that the influence function method and the derivative influence measures yield the same influence information. An illustrative example in longitudinal data analysis is given and we compare the results provided by the influence function method and the derivative influence measures.

  • Kreiss and Franke(192) and Allen and Datta(1999) proposed bootstrapping the M-estimators in ARMA models. In this paper, we introduce the robust estimating function and investigate the bootstrap approximations of the M-estimators which are solutions of the estimating equations in TAR models. A number of simulation results are presented to estimate the sampling distribution of the M-estimators, and asymptotic validity of the bootstrap for the M-estimators is established.

  • Most of the methods of estimating the size of software are based on the functions provided to costumers and in the process of granting the score to each function we consider the complexity during the process. The FFP technique has advantages applied to vast areas like data management. real-time system, algorithmic software, etc, but on the other hand, has disadvantage on estimating sizes for weights for necessary function elements. This paper proposes the estimating method for software size by considering the complexity of each function elements in full function point calculation method applied to a new developed project and maintenance projects. For this, based on function point by using surveyed data proved the validity of proposed method. The valid result. was that the function elements, the attributes used in size estimation of software, est mated better estimated sizes than in the case of other weights being applied.

  • Fractal coding is image compression techniques using one of image characteristics self-transformability. In fractal image coding, the encoding process is to select the domain block similar to a range block. The reconstructed image quality of fractal image coding depends on similitude between a range block and the selected domain block. Domain block similar to a range blocks. In fact, the error of the reconstructed image adds up the generated error in encoding process and the generated error in decoding process. But current domain block estimating function considered only the encoding error. We propose a domain block estimating function to consider not only the encoding error but also the decoding error. By computer simulation, it was verified to obtain the high quality reconstructed image.
