Abstract

Given a zero-mean Gaussian random field with a covariance function that belongs to a parametric family of covariance functions, we introduce a new notion of likelihood approximations, termed truncatedlikelihood functions. Truncated-likelihood functions are based on direct functional approximations of the presumed family of covariance functions. For compactly supported covariance functions, within an increasing-domain asymptotic framework, we provide sufficient conditions under which consistency and asymptotic normality of estimators b
