Local asymptotic normality for normal inverse gaussian Lévy processes with high-frequency sampling

Reiichiro Kawai, Hiroki Masuda (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We prove the local asymptotic normality for the full parameters of the normal inverse Gaussian Lévy process X, when we observe high-frequency data XΔn,X2Δn,...,XnΔn with sampling mesh Δn → 0 and the terminal sampling time nΔn → ∞. The rate of convergence turns out to be (√nΔn, √nΔn, √n, √n) for the dominating parameter (α,β,δ,μ), where α stands for the heaviness of the tails, β the degree of skewness, δ the scale, and μ the location. The essential feature in our study is that the suitably normalized...

Local Asymptotic Normality Property for Lacunar Wavelet Series multifractal model

Jean-Michel Loubes, Davy Paindaveine (2011)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider a lacunar wavelet series function observed with an additive Brownian motion. Such functions are statistically characterized by two parameters. The first parameter governs the lacunarity of the wavelet coefficients while the second one governs its intensity. In this paper, we establish the local and asymptotic normality (LAN) of the model, with respect to this couple of parameters. This enables to prove the optimality of an estimator for the lacunarity parameter, and to build optimal...

Local Collapses in the Truscott-Brindley Model

I. Siekmann, H. Malchow (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Relaxation oscillations are limit cycles with two clearly different time scales. In this article the spatio-temporal dynamics of a standard prey-predator system in the parameter region of relaxation oscillation is investigated. Both prey and predator population are distributed irregularly at a relatively high average level between a maximal and a minimal value. However, the slowly developing complex pattern exhibits a feature of “inverse excitability”: Both populations show collapses which occur...

Local degeneracy of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods

Kengo Kamatani (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We study asymptotic behavior of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedures. Sometimes the performances of MCMC procedures are poor and there are great importance for the study of such behavior. In this paper we call degeneracy for a particular type of poor performances. We show some equivalent conditions for degeneracy. As an application, we consider the cumulative probit model. It is well known that the natural data augmentation (DA) procedure does not work well for this model and the so-called...

Local estimation of the Hurst index of multifractional brownian motion by increment ratio statistic method

Pierre Raphaël Bertrand, Mehdi Fhima, Arnaud Guillin (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We investigate here the central limit theorem of the increment ratio statistic of a multifractional Brownian motion, leading to a CLT for the time varying Hurst index. The proofs are quite simple relying on Breuer–Major theorems and an original freezing of time strategy. A simulation study shows the goodness of fit of this estimator.

Local limit theorems for Brownian additive functionals and penalisation of Brownian paths, IX

Bernard Roynette, Marc Yor (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We obtain a local limit theorem for the laws of a class of Brownian additive functionals and we apply this result to a penalisation problem. We study precisely the case of the additive functional: ( A t - : = 0 t 1 X s < 0 d s , t 0 ) . On the other hand, we describe Feynman-Kac type penalisation results for long Brownian bridges thus completing some similar previous study for standard Brownian motion (see [B. Roynette, P. Vallois and M. Yor, Studia Sci. Math. Hung.43 (2006) 171–246]).
