Abstract

Background. For nonlinear regression model with continuous time and mean square continuous separable measurable Gaussian stationary random noise with zero mean and square-integrable spectral density the problem of statistical  estimation of unknown covariance function of random noise in the presence of regression function nuisance parameter is considered.

Objective. To study asymptotic behavior of residual correlogram estimator of random noise covariance function using consistent least squares estimator of regression function unknown parameter.

Methods. To obtain the paper results we rely on the use of methodological machinery of monographs by V.V. Buldygin and Yu.V. Kozachenko (2000), specifically, the theory of quadratically Gaussian random processes, and A.V. Ivanov and N.N. Leonenko (1989).

Results. Sufficient conditions of weak consistency in unknown metric of residual correlogram estimator are obtained. The rate of covariance to zero of the strong consistency in unknown metric of the estimator is formulated.

Conclusions. The results obtained given opportunity to continue research of asymptotic properties of Gaussian stationary random noise covariance function residual correlogram estimator in nonlinear regression model and to prove a functional theorem in the space of continuous function on asymptotic confidence intervals for unknown covariance function of random noise.
