This paper proposes the combined forecasting model which study on the classic swine fever (CSF) morbidity, using the forecasting results of ARIMA and GM (1, 1) model as the inputs of the majorizing BP neural network. Analyzing the monthly data from 2000 to 2009 and the accuracy of the forecasting results is 97.379%, more accurate and more steady than traditional methods. This research provides ...

We obtain the rate of growth of long strange segments and the rate of decay of infinite horizon ruin probabilities for a class of infinite moving average processes with exponentially light tails. The rates are computed explicitly. We show that the rates are very similar to those of an i.i.d. process as long as moving average coefficients decay fast enough. If they do not, then the rates are sig...

This paper investigates the (conditional) quasi-likelihood ratio test for the threshold in MA models. Under the hypothesis of no threshold, it is shown that the test statistic converges weakly to a function of the centred Gaussian process. Under local alternatives, it is shown that this test has nontrivial asymptotic power. The results are based on a new weak convergence of a linear marked empi...
