Shannon's entropy plays a central role in many fields of mathematics. In the first chapter, we present a sufficient condition for the asymptotic normality of the plug-in estimator of Shannon's entropy defined on a countable alphabet. The sufficien...
ABSTRACTIn this dissertation, firstly, I study spatial quantile regression estimation of multivariate threshold time series models. Asymptotic normality of the proposed spatial quantile regression estimator is established. Simulations and a real e...
Networks are of significant importance in many application domains, such as World WideWeb and social networks, which often embed rich topological information. Since network topology captures the organization of network nodes and links, studying ne...
