In the context of time series, the classical estimator of the autocovariance function can be written as a quadratic form of the observations. If data have an elliptically contoured distribution with constant mean, then the correlation between the sample autocovariance function at two different lags
Various characterizations of the univariate normal distribution are presented.
In this note, we present a new classiΓΏcation of tail-thickness in terms of COV(X 2 j ; X 2 p ) in the class of elliptical distributions. The tail-thickness measured by the sign of the kurtosis parameter is shown to be equivalent to the sign of COV(X 2 j ; X 2 p ) when COV(Xj; Xp) = 0. When COV(Xj; X
It is a well-known result (which can be traced back to Gauss) that the only translation family of probability densities on \(\mathbb{R}\) for which the arithmetic mean is a maximum likelihood estimate of the translation parameter originates from the normal density. We generalize this characterizatio
