A general jackknife estimator for the asymptotic covariance of moment estimators is considered in the case when the sample is taken from a mixture with varying concentrations of components. Consistency of the estimator is demonstrated. A fast algorithm for its calculation is described. The estimator is applied to construction of confidence sets for regression parameters in the linear regression with errors in variables. An application to sociological data analysis is considered.

In this paper we establish the existence and the uniqueness of the solution of a special class of BSDEs for Lévy processes in the case of a Lipschitz generator of sublinear growth. We then study a related problem of logarithmic utility maximization of the terminal wealth in the filtration generated by an arbitrary Lévy process.

Given a low-frequency sample of the infinitely divisible moving average random field $\{{\textstyle\int _{{\mathbb{R}^{d}}}}f(t-x)\Lambda (dx),\hspace{2.5pt}t\in {\mathbb{R}^{d}}\}$, in [13] we proposed an estimator $\widehat{u{v_{0}}}$ for the function $\mathbb{R}\ni x\mapsto u(x){v_{0}}(x)=(u{v_{0}})(x)$, with $u(x)=x$ and ${v_{0}}$ being the Lévy density of the integrator random measure Λ. In this paper, we study asymptotic properties of the linear functional ${L^{2}}(\mathbb{R})\ni v\mapsto {\left\langle v,\widehat{u{v_{0}}}\right\rangle _{{L^{2}}(\mathbb{R})}}$, if the (known) kernel function f has a compact support. We provide conditions that ensure consistency (in mean) and prove a central limit theorem for it.

The main subject of the study in this paper is the simultaneous renewal time for two time-inhomogeneous Markov chains which start with arbitrary initial distributions. By a simultaneous renewal we mean the first time of joint hitting the specific set C by both processes. Under the condition of existence a dominating sequence for both renewal sequences generated by the chains and non-lattice condition for renewal probabilities an upper bound for the expectation of the simultaneous renewal time is obtained.
