Description
The goal of this dissertation is to develop some classical limit theorems for the additive functionals of the homogeneous Markov chains in the special class of the so-called, Loop Markov Chains. The additive functionals of the Markov chains have t...

Description
In this dissertation, we are mainly concerned with the sum of random exponentials. Here, the random variables are independent and identically distributed. Another distinctive assumption is the number of variables in this sum is a function of the c...

Description
In financial time series nonlinear effects and time-varying effects are observed. In this dissertation we propose a predictive regression model with time varying coefficients and functional coefficients. It allows for nonstationary predictors. We establi...
