A scaled chi‐squared distribution is proposed as an approximating null distribution. Because the test statistic is based on componentwise statistics, it has the advantage over Hotelling's T2 test of being applicable to the case where the dimension of an observation exceeds the number of observations. An appealing feature of the new test is its ability to handle missing data by relying on only componentwise sample moments. Monte Carlo studies indicate good power compared to Hotelling's T2 and a recently proposed test by Srivastava (2004, Technical Report, University of Toronto). The test is applied to drug discovery data.}, number={3}, journal={BIOMETRICS}, author={Wu, Yujun and Genton, Marc G. and Stefanski, Leonard A.}, year={2006}, month={Sep}, pages={877–885} }

For multivariate cases, the assumption of normality is very prevalent in the research on Kalman filters. To increase the applicability of the Kalman filter to a wider range of distributions, we propose a new way to introduce skewness to state-space models without losing the computational advantages of the Kalman filter operations. The skewness comes from the extension of the multivariate normal distribution to the closed skew-normal distribution. To illustrate the applicability of such an extension, we present two specific state-space models for which the Kalman filtering operations are carefully described.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS}, author={Naveau, P and Genton, MG and Shen, XL}, year={2005}, month={Jun}, pages={382–400} }

For this purpose, we present a family of models designed for the analysis and time-forward prediction of spatio-temporal econometric data. Our model is aimed at applications with spatially sparse but temporally rich data, i.e. for observations collected at few spatial regions, but at many regular time intervals. The family of models utilized does not make spatial stationarity assumptions and consists in a vector autoregressive (VAR) specification, where there are as many time series as spatial regions. A model building strategy is used that takes into account the spatial dependence structure of the data. Model building may be performed either by displaying sample partial correlation functions, or automatically with an information criterion. Monthly data on unemployment rates in the nine census divisions of the U.S. are analyzed. We show with a residual analysis that our autoregressive model captures the dependence structure of the data better than with univariate time series modeling.}, journal={SPATIAL AND SPATIOTEMPORAL ECONOMETRICS}, author={Luna, X and Genton, MG}, year={2004}, pages={279–294} }

 @article{de luna_genton_2001, title={Robust simulation-based estimation of ARMA models}, volume={10}, ISSN={["1061-8600"]}, DOI={10.1198/10618600152628347}, abstractNote={This article proposes a new approach to the robust estimation of a mixed autoregressive and moving average (ARMA) model. It is based on the indirect inference method that originally was proposed for models with an intractable likelihood function. The estimation algorithm proposed is based on an auxiliary autoregressive representation whose parameters are first estimated on the observed time series and then on data simulated from the ARMA model. To simulate data the parameters of the ARMA model have to be set. By varying these we can minimize a distance between the simulation-based and the observation-based auxiliary estimate. The argument of the minimum yields then an estimator for the parameterization of the ARMA model. This simulation-based estimation procedure inherits the properties of the auxiliary model estimator. For instance, robustness is achieved with GM estimators. An essential feature of the introduced estimator, compared to existing robust estimators for ARMA models, is its theoretical tractability that allows us to show consistency and asymptotic normality. Moreover, it is possible to characterize the influence function and the breakdown point of the estimator. In a small sample Monte Carlo study it is found that the new estimator performs fairly well when compared with existing procedures. Furthermore, with two real examples, we also compare the proposed inferential method with two different approaches based on outliers detection.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL AND GRAPHICAL STATISTICS}, author={De Luna, X and Genton, MG}, year={2001}, month={Jun}, pages={370–387} }
