Consistency of Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Some Dynamical Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the asymptotic consistency of maximum likelihood parameter estimation for dynamical systems observed with noise. Under suitable conditions on the dynamical systems and the observations, we show that maximum likelihood parameter estimation is consistent. Our proof involves ideas from both information theory and dynamical systems. Furthermore, we show how some well-studied properties of dynamical systems imply the general statistical properties related to maximum likelihood estimation. Finally, we exhibit classical families of dynamical systems for which maximum likelihood estimation is consistent. Examples include shifts of finite type with Gibbs measures and Axiom A attractors with SRB measures.

In this paper, for the first time, the subject of change point estimation has been utilized in the stationary state of auto regressive moving average (ARMA) (1, 1). In the monitoring phase, in case the features of the question pursue a time series, i.e., ARMA(1,1), on the basis of the maximum likelihood technique, an approach will be developed for the estimation of the stationary state’s change...

متن کاملConsistency of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator of Evolutionary Tree
Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) methods are widely used for evolutionary tree. As evolutionary tree is not a smooth parameter, the consistency of its MLE has been a topic of debate. It has been noted without proof that the classical proof of consistency by Wald holds for the MLE of evolutionary tree. Other proofs of consistency under various models were also proposed. Here we will discuss s...
متن کاملModified Maximum Likelihood Estimation in First-Order Autoregressive Moving Average Models with some Non-Normal Residuals
When modeling time series data using autoregressive-moving average processes, it is a common practice to presume that the residuals are normally distributed. However, sometimes we encounter non-normal residuals and asymmetry of data marginal distribution. Despite widespread use of pure autoregressive processes for modeling non-normal time series, the autoregressive-moving average models have le...
متن کاملLecture 8 : Properties of Maximum Likelihood Estimation ( MLE ) ( LaTeX prepared by Haiguang Wen )
Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is a widely used statistical estimation method. In this lecture, we will study its properties: efficiency, consistency and asymptotic normality. MLE is a method for estimating parameters of a statistical model. Given the distribution of a statistical model f(y ; θ) with unkown deterministic parameter θ, MLE is to estimate the parameter θ by maximizing the pro...
