Recently, non-normal innovations in autoregressive models have become prevalent in many applications. In this case, it is known that the least squares (LS) estimators are neither efficient nor robust. Also, obtaining maximum likelihood (ML) estimators requires numerical solution which is a formidable task. To overcome these difficulties modified maximum likelihood (MML) estimation technique is used to obtain the estimators of the model parameters. In this method, although explicit solution can be found, the necessity of knowing the shape parameter becomes a drawback especially in machine data processing. That is why, in this thesis adaptive modified maximum likelihood (AMML) methodology which combines MML estimation technique with Huber’s M-estimation procedure is used so that the shape parameter can also be estimated. Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is also used in order to obtain Maximum Likelihood Estimators (MLEs) numerically. Then, through a simulation study, efficiency and robustness properties of the estimators are discussed and compared with each other. Finally, test statistics are proposed for the crucial parameters of the model. The power comparisons of the test statistics under each estimation technique are presented.

A New Estimation Technique for AR(1) Model with Long-tailed Symmetric Innovations Akkaya, Ayşen (null; 2017-09-17) In recent years, it is seen in many time series applications that innovations are non-normal. In this situation, it is known that the least squares (LS) estimators are neither efficient nor robust and maximum likelihood (ML) estimators can only be obtained numerically which might be problematic. The estimation problem is considered newly through different distributions by the use of modified maximum likelihood (MML) estimation technique which assumes the shape parameter to be known. This becomes a drawback ...
Adaptive estimation of autoregression models under long-tailed symmetric distribution Yentür, Begüm; Akkaya, Ayşen; Bayrak, Özlem Türker (2022-01-01) © 2022 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Non-normal innovations in autoregression models frequently occur in practice. In this situation, least squares (LS) estimators are known to be inefficient and non-robust, and maximum likelihood (ML) estimators need to be solved numerically, which becomes a daunting task. In the literature, the modified maximum likelihood (MML) estimation technique has been proposed to obtain the estimators of model parameters. While an explicit solution can be found via this method, the re...
Robust estimation in multiple linear regression model with non-Gaussian noise Akkaya, Ayşen (2008-02-01) The traditional least squares estimators used in multiple linear regression model are very sensitive to design anomalies. To rectify the situation we propose a reparametrization of the model. We derive modified maximum likelihood estimators and show that they are robust and considerably more efficient than the least squares estimators besides being insensitive to moderate design anomalies.
Automatic eye tracking and intermediate view reconstruction for 3D imaging systems Bediz, Yusuf; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In recent years, the utilization of 3D display systems became popular in many application areas. One of the most important issues in the utilization of these systems is to render the correct view to the observer based on his/her position. In this thesis, we propose and implement a single user view rendering system for autostereoscopic/stereoscopic displays. The system can easily be installed on a standard PC together with an autostereoscopic display or stereoscopic glasses (shutter, polarized, pulfrich, and...
Collaborative building control: a conceptual mixed-initiative framework Topak, Fatih; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (Taylor & Francis, 2021-6-22) In the last two decades, automation systems have shown advanced developments and are widely adopted for various purposes in many fields. However, automation in buildings has not gained popularity and has a low acceptance level amongst the occupants. Decreased perceived control, ever-changing dynamic human needs, and standardized, one-size-fits-all approach in current automation systems lead to disharmony in human-machine coexistence. Although well-established continuous interaction between building control ...
