Bounds on tail probabilities for negative binomial distributions

Peter Harremoës (2016)

Kybernetika

In this paper we derive various bounds on tail probabilities of distributions for which the generated exponential family has a linear or quadratic variance function. The main result is an inequality relating the signed log-likelihood of a negative binomial distribution with the signed log-likelihood of a Gamma distribution. This bound leads to a new bound on the signed log-likelihood of a binomial distribution compared with a Poisson distribution that can be used to prove an intersection property...

Branching brownian motion with an inhomogeneous breeding potential

J. W. Harris, S. C. Harris (2009)

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

This article concerns branching brownian motion (BBM) with dyadic branching at rate β|y|p for a particle with spatial position y∈ℝ, where β>0. It is known that for p>2 the number of particles blows up almost surely in finite time, while for p=2 the expected number of particles alive blows up in finite time, although the number of particles alive remains finite almost surely, for all time. We define the right-most particle, Rt, to be the supremum of the spatial positions of the particles...

Branching process associated with 2d-Navier Stokes equation.

Saïd Benachour, Bernard Roynette, Pierre Vallois (2001)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Ω being a bounded open set in R∙, with regular boundary, we associate with Navier-Stokes equation in Ω where the velocity is null on ∂Ω, a non-linear branching process (Yt, t ≥ 0). More precisely: Eω0(〈h,Yt〉) = 〈ω,h〉, for any test function h, where ω = rot u, u denotes the velocity solution of Navier-Stokes equation. The support of the random measure Yt increases or decreases in one unit when the underlying process hits ∂Ω; this stochastic phenomenon corresponds to the creation-annihilation of vortex...

Branching processes, and random-cluster measures on trees

Geoffrey Grimmett, Svante Janson (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Random-cluster measures on infinite regular trees are studied in conjunction with a general type of ‘boundary condition’, namely an equivalence relation on the set of infinite paths of the tree. The uniqueness and non-uniqueness of random-cluster measures are explored for certain classes of equivalence relations. In proving uniqueness, the following problem concerning branching processes is encountered and answered. Consider bond percolation on the family-tree T of a branching process. What is the...

Branching Processes with Immigration and Integer-valued Time Series

Dion, J., Gauthier, G., Latour, A. (1995)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

In this paper, we indicate how integer-valued autoregressive time series Ginar(d) of ordre d, d ≥ 1, are simple functionals of multitype branching processes with immigration. This allows the derivation of a simple criteria for the existence of a stationary distribution of the time series, thus proving and extending some results by Al-Osh and Alzaid [1], Du and Li [9] and Gauthier and Latour [11]. One can then transfer results on estimation in subcritical multitype branching processes to stationary...

Branching random motions, nonlinear hyperbolic systems and travellind waves

Nikita Ratanov (2006)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

A branching random motion on a line, with abrupt changes of direction, is studied. The branching mechanism, being independent of random motion, and intensities of reverses are defined by a particle's current direction. A solution of a certain hyperbolic system of coupled non-linear equations (Kolmogorov type backward equation) has a so-called McKean representation via such processes. Commonly this system possesses travelling-wave solutions. The convergence of solutions with Heaviside terminal...

Branching random walks on binary search trees: convergence of the occupation measure

Eric Fekete (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider branching random walks with binary search trees as underlying trees. We show that the occupation measure of the branching random walk, up to some scaling factors, converges weakly to a deterministic measure. The limit depends on the stable law whose domain of attraction contains the law of the increments. The existence of such stable law is our fundamental hypothesis. As a consequence, using a one-to-one correspondence between binary trees and plane trees, we give a description of the...
