The problem of estimating unknown observational variances in multivariate dynamic linear models is considered. Conjugate procedures are possible for univariate models and also for special very restrictive common components models but they are not generally applicable. However, for clarity of operati

β¦ Synopsis
The paper is concerned with the problem of variance estimation for a highdimensional regression model. The results show that the accuracy n -1/2 of variance estimation can be achieved only under some restrictions on smoothness properties of the regression function and on the dimensionality of the model. In particular, for a two times differentiable regression function, the rate n -1/2 is achievable only for dimensionality smaller or equal to 8. For a higher dimensional model, the optimal accuracy is n -4/d which is worse than n -1/2 . The rate optimal estimating procedure is presented.

We consider the problem of estimating regression models of two-dimensional random fields. Asymptotic properties of the least squares estimator of the linear regression coefficients are studied for the case where the disturbance is a homogeneous random field with an absolutely continuous spectral dis
Asymptotics of M-estimators of the regression coefficients in linear models (both scale-variant and scale-invariant) when the number of regression coefficients tends to infinity as the sample size increases are investigated. The main purpose of this study is to establish the asymptotic properties un
