  • Abstract
    The authors study estimators for the variance parameter σ 2 of a stationary process. The estimators are based on weighted Cramer-von Mises statistics formed from the standardized time series of the process. Certain weightings yield estimators which are first-order unbiased for σ2 and which have low variance. It is also shown how the Cramer-von Mises estimators are related to the standardized time series area estimator; this relationship is used to establish additional estimators for σ2
