My PhD

I had a few font hassles when I tried to re LaTeX this,
I guess the system LaTeX has been updated since late 1994!)

Title: Some new statistical approaches to the analysis of long memory processes

My PhD centred around the analysis and synthesis of long-memory processes, particularly from a spectral analysis viewpoint. Both the use of the discrete wavelet transform and multitaper spectral estimation proved excellent tools in analyzing such processes, and I further investigated the properties of these methods.

Here it is, missing some boldmaths (unix compressed, beware it's fairly big: about 1.7 MBytes) report.ps.Z

I also have it gzipped (about 1MByte) report.ps.gz
