An algebraic approach to Pólya processes

Nicolas Pouyanne (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Pólya processes are natural generalizations of Pólya–Eggenberger urn models. This article presents a new approach of their asymptotic behaviour via moments, based on the spectral decomposition of a suitable finite difference transition operator on polynomial functions. Especially, it provides new results for large processes (a Pólya process is called small when 1 is a simple eigenvalue of its replacement matrix and when any other eigenvalue has a real part ≤1/2; otherwise, it is called large).

An almost sure limit theorem for moving averages of random variables between the strong law of large numbers and the Erdös-Rényi law

Hartmut Lanzinger (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We prove a strong law of large numbers for moving averages of independent, identically distributed random variables with certain subexponential distributions. These random variables show a behavior that can be considered intermediate between the classical strong law and the Erdös-Rényi law. We further show that the difference from the classical behavior is due to the influence of extreme terms.

An Alpern tower independent of a given partition

James T. Campbell, Jared T. Collins, Steven Kalikow, Raena King, Randall McCutcheon (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Given a measure-preserving transformation T of a probability space (X,ℬ,μ) and a finite measurable partition ℙ of X, we show how to construct an Alpern tower of any height whose base is independent of the partition ℙ. That is, given N ∈ ℕ, there exists a Rokhlin tower of height N, with base B and error set E, such that B is independent of ℙ, and TE ⊂ B.

An alternative proof of the uniqueness of martingale-coboundary decomposition of strictly stationary processes

Takehiko Morita (2019)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

P. Samek and D. Volný, in the paper ``Uniqueness of a martingale-coboundary decomposition of a stationary processes" (1992), showed the uniqueness of martingale-coboundary decomposition of strictly stationary processes. The original proof is given by reducing the problem to the ergodic case. In this note we give another proof without such reduction.

An analysis of noise propagation in the multiscale simulation of coarse Fokker-Planck equations

Yves Frederix, Giovanni Samaey, Dirk Roose (2011)

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

We consider multiscale systems for which only a fine-scale model describing the evolution of individuals (atoms, molecules, bacteria, agents) is given, while we are interested in the evolution of the population density on coarse space and time scales. Typically, this evolution is described by a coarse Fokker-Planck equation. In this paper, we consider a numerical procedure to compute the solution of this Fokker-Planck equation directly on the coarse level, based on the estimation of the unknown...

An analysis of the Rüschendorf transform - with a view towards Sklar’s Theorem

Frank Oertel (2015)

Dependence Modeling

We revisit Sklar’s Theorem and give another proof, primarily based on the use of right quantile functions. To this end we slightly generalise the distributional transform approach of Rüschendorf and facilitate some new results including a rigorous characterisation of an almost surely existing “left-invertibility” of distribution functions.
