Abstract
Consider heteroscedastic regression model Y ni = g(x ni ) + σ ni ɛ ni (1 ≤ i ≤ n), where σ 2 ni = f(u ni ), the design points (x ni , u ni ) are known and nonrandom, g(·) and f(·) are unknown functions defined on closed interval [0, 1], and the random errors {ɛ ni , 1 ≤ i ≤ n} are assumed to have the same distribution as {ξ i , 1 ≤ i ≤ n}, which is a stationary and α-mixing time series with Eξ i = 0. Under appropriate conditions, we study asymptotic normality of wavelet estimators of g(·) and f(·). Finite sample behavior of the estimators is investigated via simulations, too.
