Part of the book series: Springer Optimization and Its Applications ((SOIA,volume 90))

Abstract

We provide a concise summary on the method of parameter estimation of random fields in the spectral domain developed in the papers [1–3], which is based on higher-order information and the minimum contrast principle. The exposition covers both continuous and discrete-time cases. Minimum contrast estimators are defined via minimization of a certain empirical spectral functional of kth order based on tapered data. Conditions for consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators are stated.
