Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters under a Spatial Sampling Scheme
空间抽样方案下的参数极大似然估计
We study in detail asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimators of parameters when observations are taken from a two-dimensional Gaussian random field with a multiplicative Ornstein-Uhlenbeck covariance function. Under the complete lattice sampling plan, it is shown that the maximum likelihood estimators are strongly consistent and asymptotically normal. The asymptotic normality here is normalized by the fourth root of the sample size and is obtained through higher…
