Manuscripts in Progress

3. Alexander Goldenshluger and Taeho Kim, Nonparametric System Identifications: This study considers a linear time-invariant system for continuous time. Based on a nonparametric approach with the Wiener process, the point-wise identification performances of impulse and frequency response functions are evaluated by the minimax criterion with their rates of convergence.

2. Kim, T., Lieberman, B., Luta, G., and Peña, E., Predictions based on Concordance Correlation Coefficients: This study investigates the sample-level inference of the prediction based on concordance correlation coefficients. The asymptotic distribution of the estimated predictor is derived for both single- and multiple-covariate. In addition, its performance is compared to that of the least-squares prediction.

1. Taeho Kim and Edsel Peña, General Thresdholding Approach in Multiple Interval Estimations: The thresholding approach in multiple interval estimation is initially built up for normal-normal model. This study attempts to lift the model restriction, incorporating other conjugate families, such as exponential-inverse gamma model and etc.
