On Edgeworth Expansion and Moving Block Bootstrap for StudentizedM-Estimators in Multiple Linear Regression Models

This paper considers the multiple linear regression modelYi=xi?s+?i,i=i, ?, n, wherexi's are knownp×1 vectors,sis ap×1 vector of parameters, and?1,?2, ? are stationary, strongly mixing random variables. Letsndenote anM-estimator ofscorresponding to some score function?. Under some conditions on?,xi's and?i's, a two-term Edgeworth expansion for Studentized multivariateM-estimator is proved. Furthermore, it is shown that the moving block bootstrap is second-order correct for some suitable bootstrap analog of Studentizedsn.
