Selecting the correct lag order is necessary in order to avoid model specification errors in autoregressive (AR) time series models. Here we explore the problem of lag order selection in such models. This study provides an in-depth but easy understanding of the model selection mechanism to the practitioners in various fields of applied research. Several interesting findings are reported and through these the pitfalls of the model selection procedures are exposed. In particular, we show that the whole exercise of model selection and subsequent statistical inference invariably depends upon unknown entities, namely the true values of parameters in the model. The model averaging technique is proposed as an alternative to the common practice of model selection and it is shown that, as a result, the properties of post-model-selection estimates substantially improve.

Performance analysis of adaptive loading OFDM under Rayleigh fading
Canpolat, B; Tanik, Y (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004-07-01)
In this paper, we investigate the performance of adaptive loading orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) under Rayleigh fading with maximal ratio-combining (MRC) diversity at the receiver. We assume that channel-state information is available at both the transmitter and the receiver. Closed-form expressions for the lower bound on the average capacity of OFDM transmission under Rayleigh fading are provided for ideal MRC diversity. Simple approximate expressions for the average capacity of the Rayl...
Optimal averaging of soil moisture predictions from ensemble land surface model simulations
Crow, W. T.; Su, C. -H.; Ryu, D.; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (2015-11-01)
The correct interpretation of ensemble information obtained from the parallel implementation of multiple land surface models (LSMs) requires information concerning the LSM ensemble's mutual error covariance. Here we propose a technique for obtaining such information using an instrumental variable (IV) regression approach and comparisons against a long-term surface soil moisture data set acquired from satellite remote sensing. Application of the approach to multimodel ensemble soil moisture output from Phase...
Estimation and hypothesis testing in BIB design and robustness
Tiku, Moti L.; ŞENOĞLU, BİRDAL (Elsevier BV, 2009-07-01)
Modified maximum likelihood estimators of the unknown parameters in a BIB design under non-normality of error distributions are obtained. They are shown to be more efficient and robust than the traditional least squares estimators. A test statistic for testing a linear contrast among treatment effects is developed. A real life example is given.
Steady-state modeling of a phase-shift PWM parallel resonant converter

Purpose - To derive an analytical model for a dc-ac-dc parallel resonant converter operating in lagging power factor mode based on the steady-state operation conditions and considering the effects of a high-frequency transformer.
Heterogeneous DEVS simulations with connectors and reo based compositions [Work in Progress]
Kara, Ahmet; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Nedim Alpdemir, M. (2014-01-01)
Composition of DEVS models in heterogenous environments requires resolutions for manifold incompatibilities including data type and time resolution mismatch. This paper proposes a solution for implementing DEVS simulations in heterogenous environments with the help of connectors in the sense of component based software engineering. Our solution involves implementing connectors as atomic models to be used in mediation of data type and time resolution mismatches. Employing atomic models as connectors allows c...
