A stochastic version of Fan's best approximation theorem.
In this paper we obtain a strong invariance principle for negatively associated random fields, under the assumptions that the field has a finite th moment and the covariance coefficient exponentially decreases to . The main tools are the Berkes-Morrow multi-parameter blocking technique and the Csörgő-Révész quantile transform method.
Let be a second-order stationary random field on Z². Let ℳ(L) be the linear span of , and ℳ(RN) the linear span of . Spectral criteria are given for the condition , where is the cosine of the angle between ℳ(L) and .
The paper concerns a model of influence in which agents make their decisions on a certain issue. We assume that each agent is inclined to make a particular decision, but due to a possible influence of the others, his final decision may be different from his initial inclination. Since in reality the influence does not necessarily stop after one step, but may iterate, we present a model which allows us to study the dynamic of influence. An innovative...
