Abstract

The problem of estimation parameters of a multivariate p-dimensional random vector is considered for a banded covariance structure under m-dependence. A simple non-iterative estimation procedure is suggested which gives explicit, unbiased and consistent estimator of the mean and explicit and consistent estimator of the covariance matrix for arbitrary p and m
