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...

Semimartingale decomposition of convex functions of continuous semimartingales by brownian perturbation

Nastasiya F. Grinberg (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this note we prove that the local martingale part of a convex function of a -dimensional semimartingale  =  +  can be written in terms of an Itô stochastic integral ∫()d, where () is some particular measurable choice of subgradient ∇ f ( x ) of at , and is the martingale part of . This result was first proved by Bouleau in [N. Bouleau, 292 (1981) 87–90]. Here we present a new treatment of the problem. We first prove the result for X ˜ = X + ϵ B x10ff65; X = X + ϵB , > 0, where is...

Exponential deficiency of convolutions of densities

Iosif Pinelis (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

If a probability density (x) (x ∈ ℝ) is bounded and := ∫e (x)dx < ∞ for some linear functional u and all  ∈ (01), then, for each  ∈ (01) and all large enough , the -fold convolution of the -tilted density p ˜ t ˜pt := e (x)/ is bounded. This is a corollary of a general, “non-i.i.d.” result, which is also shown to enjoy a certain optimality property. Such results and their corollaries stated in terms of the absolute integrability of the corresponding characteristic...

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⌈...

Penalization versus Goldenshluger − Lepski strategies in warped bases regression

Gaëlle Chagny (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

This paper deals with the problem of estimating a regression function , in a random design framework. We build and study two adaptive estimators based on model selection, applied with warped bases. We start with a collection of finite dimensional linear spaces, spanned by orthonormal bases. Instead of expanding directly the target function on these bases, we rather consider the expansion of  =  ∘ , where is the cumulative distribution function of the design, following...

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...
