Universality in the bulk of the spectrum for complex sample covariance matrices

Sandrine Péché (2012)

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

Similarity:

We consider complex sample covariance matrices = (1/)* where is a × random matrix with i.i.d. entries , 1 ≤ ≤ , 1 ≤ ≤ , with distribution . Under some regularity and decay assumptions on , we prove universality of some local eigenvalue statistics in the bulk of the spectrum in the limit where → ∞ and lim→∞ / = for any real number ∈ (0, ∞).

On the invariant measure of the random difference equation Xn = AnXn−1 + Bn in the critical case

Sara Brofferio, Dariusz Buraczewski, Ewa Damek (2012)

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

Similarity:

We consider the autoregressive model on ℝ defined by the stochastic recursion = −1 + , where {( , )} are i.i.d. random variables valued in ℝ× ℝ+. The critical case, when $𝔼 [log A_{1}] = 0$ , was studied by Babillot, Bougerol and Elie, who proved that there exists a unique invariant Radon measure for the Markov chain { }. In the present paper we prove that the weak limit of properly...

Product of exponentials and spectral radius of random k-circulants

Arup Bose, Rajat Subhra Hazra, Koushik Saha (2012)

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

Similarity:

We consider × random -circulant matrices with → ∞ and = () whose input sequence { }≥0 is independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables with finite (2 + ) moment. We study the asymptotic distribution of the spectral radius, when = + 1. For this, we first derive the tail behaviour of the fold product of i.i.d. exponential random variables. Then using this tail behaviour result and appropriate normal approximation techniques, we...

Hydrodynamic limit of a d-dimensional exclusion process with conductances

Fábio Júlio Valentim (2012)

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

Similarity:

Fix a polynomial of the form () = + ∑2≤≤ =1 with (1) gt; 0. We prove that the evolution, on the diffusive scale, of the empirical density of exclusion processes on $𝕋^{d}$ , with conductances given by special class of functions, is described by the unique weak solution of the non-linear parabolic partial differential equation = ∑ ...

Plug-in estimation of level sets in a non-compact setting with applications in multivariate risk theory

Elena Di Bernardino, Thomas Laloë, Véronique Maume-Deschamps, Clémentine Prieur (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the level sets () = {() ≥ }, with ∈ (0,1), of an unknown distribution function on ℝ . A plug-in approach is followed. That is, given a consistent estimator of , we estimate () by () = { () ≥ }. In our setting, non-compactness property is required for the level sets to estimate. We state consistency results with respect to the Hausdorff distance and the volume of the symmetric...

Survival probabilities of autoregressive processes

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Given an autoregressive process of order ( = + ··· + + where the random variables , ,... are i.i.d.), we study the asymptotic behaviour of the probability that the process does not exceed a constant barrier up to time (survival or persistence probability). Depending on the coefficients ,...,...

Means in complete manifolds: uniqueness and approximation

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Let be a complete Riemannian manifold, ∈ ℕ and ≥ 1. We prove that almost everywhere on = ( ,, ) ∈ for Lebesgue measure in , the measure $μ (x) = N \sum_{k = 1}^{N} x_{k}$ μ ( x ) = 1 N ∑ k = 1 N δ x k has a unique–mean (). As a consequence, if = ( ,, ) is a -valued random variable with absolutely continuous law, then almost surely (()) has a unique –mean. In particular if ( ...

Similarity:

We prove of vector minimizers () = (||) to multiple integrals ∫ ((), |()|) on a ⊂ ℝ, among the Sobolev functions (·) in + (, ℝ), using a : ℝ×ℝ → [0,∞] with (·) and . Besides such basic hypotheses, (·,·) is assumed to satisfy also...

Upper large deviations for maximal flows through a tilted cylinder

Marie Theret (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We consider the standard first passage percolation model in ℤ for ≥ 2 and we study the maximal flow from the upper half part to the lower half part (respectively from the top to the bottom) of a cylinder whose basis is a hyperrectangle of sidelength proportional to and whose height is () for a certain height function . We denote this maximal flow by (respectively ). We emphasize the fact that the cylinder may be tilted. We look at the probability that...

Hereditary properties of words

József Balogh, Béla Bollobás (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Let be a hereditary property of words, , an infinite class of finite words such that every subword (block) of a word belonging to is also in . Extending the classical Morse-Hedlund theorem, we show that either contains at least words of length for every or, for some , it contains at most words of length for every . More importantly, we prove the following quantitative extension of this result: if has words of length then, for every , it contains at most ⌈( + 1)/2⌉⌈( + 1)/2⌈...

KPZ formula for log-infinitely divisible multifractal random measures

Rémi Rhodes, Vincent Vargas (2011)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We consider the continuous model of log-infinitely divisible multifractal random measures (MRM) introduced in [E. Bacry et al. 236 (2003) 449–475]. If is a non degenerate multifractal measure with associated metric () = ([]) and structure function ζ, we show that we have the following relation between the (Euclidian) Hausdorff dimension dim of a measurable set and the Hausdorff dimension dim with respect to of the same set: ζ(dim ()) = dim(). Our results...

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Let ∈ ℝ be a random vector with mean and covariance matrix where is some known × -matrix. We construct a statistical procedure to estimate as well as under moment condition on or Gaussian hypothesis. Both cases are developed for known or unknown . Our approach is free from any prior assumption on and is based on non-asymptotic model selection methods....

For any finite word on a finite alphabet, we consider the basic parameters and of defined as follows: is the minimal natural number for which has no right special factor of length and is the minimal natural number for which has no repeated suffix of length . In this paper we study the distributions of these parameters, here called characteristic parameters, among the words ...
