In this paper, we first provide a general theory on the asymptotic normality of plug-in sieve M estimators of possibly irregular functionals of semi/nonparametric time series models.
But it was left to Lagrange to provide a general theory covering all expressions of the form ax2 + bxy+ cy2, quadratic forms, as they are called.
Results from the IGT have provided the basis for a general theory of the relationship between cognition and emotion, i.e., the Somatic Marker Hypothesis [ 29, 30].
