Group lasso is a natural extension of lasso and selects variables in a grouped manner. However, group lasso suffers from estimation inefficiency and selection inconsistency. To re...
We present a semi-parametric method for testing mixing distributions in the mixed Poisson model. The proposed method, which is based on the generalized method of moments, does not...
Given angular data 1, . . . , n [0, 2) a common objective is to estimate the density. In the case that a kernel estimator is used, bandwidth selection is crucial to the performan...
The purpose of this paper is to forecast the time evolution of a binary response variable from an associated continuous time series observed only at discrete time points that usual...

The finite sample properties of the Fourier estimator of integrated volatility under market microstructure noise are studied. Analytic expressions for the bias and the mean square...
