On changes of measure in stochastic volatility models.
Recurrence relations for the marginal, joint and conditional characteristic functions of kth record values from the generalized extreme value distribution are established. These relations are utilized to obtain recurrence relations for single, product and conditional moments of kth record values. Moreover, by making use of the recurrence relations the generalized extreme value distribution is characterized.
In this paper two characterizations of the Pólya distribution are obtained when its contagion parameter is negative. One of them is based on mixtures and the other one is obtained by characterizing a subfamily of the discrete Pearson system.

We prove that the class mc4 of continuous martingales with parameter set [0,1]2, bounded in L4, is included in the class of semi-martingales Sc∞(L0(P)) defined by Allain in [A]. As a consequence we obtain a compact Itô's formula. Finally we relate this result with the compact Itô formula obtained by Sanz in [S] for martingales of mc4.
In this work, a complete moment convergence theorem is obtained for weighted sums of asymptotically almost negatively associated (AANA) random variables without assumption of identical distribution under some mild moment conditions. As an application, the complete convergence theorems for weighted sums of negatively associated (NA) and AANA random variables are obtained. The result not only generalizes the corresponding ones of Sung [13] and Huang et al. [8], but also improves them.
In this work, the complete moment convergence and complete convergence for weighted sums of negatively superadditive dependent (NSD) random variables are studied, and some equivalent conditions of these strong convergences are established. These main results generalize and improve the corresponding theorems of Baum and Katz (1965) and Chow (1988) to weighted sums of NSD random variables without the assumption of identical distribution. As an application, a Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund-type strong law of...
