On the construction of low-parametric families of min-stable multivariate exponential distributions in large dimensions

German Bernhart, Jan-Frederik Mai, Matthias Scherer (2015)

Dependence Modeling

Min-stable multivariate exponential (MSMVE) distributions constitute an important family of distributions, among others due to their relation to extreme-value distributions. Being true multivariate exponential models, they also represent a natural choicewhen modeling default times in credit portfolios. Despite being well-studied on an abstract level, the number of known parametric families is small. Furthermore, for most families only implicit stochastic representations are known. The present paper...

On the continuity of invariant statistics

Nguyen Van Ho (1978)

Aplikace matematiky

The aim of this paper is to establish theorems on the absolute continuity of translation as well as scale invariant statistics in general, from which the related results by Hodges-Lehmann and Puri-Sen follow. The continuity relations between the joint cdf of a random vector and its marginal cdf's are also considered.

On the control of the difference between two Brownian motions: a dynamic copula approach

Thomas Deschatre (2016)

Dependence Modeling

We propose new copulae to model the dependence between two Brownian motions and to control the distribution of their difference. Our approach is based on the copula between the Brownian motion and its reflection. We show that the class of admissible copulae for the Brownian motions are not limited to the class of Gaussian copulae and that it also contains asymmetric copulae. These copulae allow for the survival function of the difference between two Brownian motions to have higher value in the right...

On the control of the difference between two Brownian motions: an application to energy markets modeling

Thomas Deschatre (2016)

Dependence Modeling

We derive a model based on the structure of dependence between a Brownian motion and its reflection according to a barrier. The structure of dependence presents two states of correlation: one of comonotonicity with a positive correlation and one of countermonotonicity with a negative correlation. This model of dependence between two Brownian motions B1 and B2 allows for the value of [...] to be higher than 1/2 when x is close to 0, which is not the case when the dependence is modeled by a constant...

On the convergence of extreme distributions under power normalization

E. M. Nigm (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper deals with the convergence in distribution of the maximum of n independent and identically distributed random variables under power normalization. We measure the difference between the actual and asymptotic distributions in terms of the double-log scale. The error committed when replacing the actual distribution of the maximum under power normalization by its asymptotic distribution is studied, assuming that the cumulative distribution function of the random variables is known. Finally,...

On the convergence of generalized polynomial chaos expansions

Oliver G. Ernst, Antje Mugler, Hans-Jörg Starkloff, Elisabeth Ullmann (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

A number of approaches for discretizing partial differential equations with random data are based on generalized polynomial chaos expansions of random variables. These constitute generalizations of the polynomial chaos expansions introduced by Norbert Wiener to expansions in polynomials orthogonal with respect to non-Gaussian probability measures. We present conditions on such measures which imply mean-square convergence of generalized polynomial chaos expansions to the correct limit and complement...

On the convergence of moments in the almost sure central limit theorem for stochastic approximation algorithms

Peggy Cénac (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We study the almost sure asymptotic behaviour of stochastic approximation algorithms for the search of zero of a real function. The quadratic strong law of large numbers is extended to the powers greater than one. In other words, the convergence of moments in the almost sure central limit theorem (ASCLT) is established. As a by-product of this convergence, one gets another proof of ASCLT for stochastic approximation algorithms. The convergence result is applied to several examples as estimation...

On the convergence of moments in the CLT for triangular arrays with an application to random polynomials

Christophe Cuny, Michel Weber (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We give a proof of convergence of moments in the Central Limit Theorem (under the Lyapunov-Lindeberg condition) for triangular arrays, yielding a new estimate of the speed of convergence expressed in terms of νth moments. We also give an application to the convergence in the mean of the pth moments of certain random trigonometric polynomials built from triangular arrays of independent random variables, thereby extending some recent work of Borwein and Lockhart.

On the convergence of sequences of iterates of random-valued vector functions

Rafał Kapica (2007)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Given a probability space (Ω,,P) and a subset X of a normed space we consider functions f:X × Ω → X and investigate the speed of convergence of the sequence (fⁿ(x,·)) of the iterates f ⁿ : X × Ω ℕ → X defined by f¹(x,ω ) = f(x,ω₁), f n + 1 ( x , ω ) = f ( f ⁿ ( x , ω ) , ω n + 1 ) .
