To obtain the likelihood of a non-Gaussian state-space model, Durbin and Koopman (1997, Biometrika, 84, 669 -684) ΓΏrst calculate the likelihood under an approximating linear Gaussian model and then use Monte Carlo methods to estimate the necessary adjustment factor. We show that Durbin and Koopman's

The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the correlation coefficient and its asymptotic properties are well-known for bivariate normal data when no observations are missing. The situation in which one of the two variates is not observed in some of the data is examined herein. The MLE of the correla
We study the asymptotics of maximum-likelihood ratio-type statistics for testing a sequence of observations for no change in parameters against a possible change while some nuisance parameters remain constant over time. We obtain extreme value as well as Gaussian-type approximations for the likeliho
