On methods of statistical inference with the use of the empirical characteristic function
Abstract
The subject of the present dissertation is the analytic and numerical investigation of certain procedures of Statistical Inference which use the empirical characteristic function (ecf). In Chapter I we introduce the characteristic function and the ecf and go through some of their important properties. We then provide an intoduction to the history of the applications of the ecf in Statistical Inference and a quick description of the original material in this dissertation which is included in Chapters II to IV. Chapter II contains an analytic and numerical investigation of the behavior of an estimator in which the polar coordinates of the ecf are calculated at a finite number of points. Asymptotic normality is proved and the efficiency of the proposed estimator is investigated based on asymptotic results and results from finite samples. These results pertain to some well known symmetric models which are useful in applied research and for which the standard methods of estimation are not e ...
