Abstract

Consider a linear regression model y1 = x1β + u1, where the u1'S afe weakly dependent random variables, the x1's are known design nonrandom variables, and β is an unknown parameter. We define an M-estimator βn of) β corresponding to a smooth score function. Then, the second-order Edgeworth expansion for βn is derived. Here we do not assume the normality of (u1), and (u1) includes the usual ARMA processes. Second, we give the second-order Edgeworth expansion for a transformation T(βn) of βn. Then, a sufficient condition for T to extinguish the second-order terms is given. The results are applicable to many statistical problems.
