Rank Estimation in Elliptical Models : Estimation of Structured Rank Covariance Matrices and Asymptotics for Heteroscedastic Linear Regression

This thesis deals with univariate and multivariate rank methods in making statistical inference. It is assumed that the underlying distributions belong to the class of elliptical distributions. The class of elliptical distributions is an extension of the normal distribution and includes distribution...
