A note on one-dimensional stochastic equations
We consider the stochastic equation where is a one-dimensional Brownian motion, is the initial value, and is a time-dependent diffusion coefficient. While the existence of solutions is well-studied for only measurable diffusion coefficients , beyond the homogeneous case there is no general result on the uniqueness in law of the solution. The purpose of the present note is to give conditions on ensuring the existence as well as the uniqueness in law of the solution.
A note on optimal probability lower bounds for centered random variables
We obtain lower bounds for ℙ(ξ ≥ 0) and ℙ(ξ > 0) under assumptions on the moments of a centered random variable ξ. The estimates obtained are shown to be optimal and improve results from the literature. They are then applied to obtain probability lower bounds for second order Rademacher chaos.

A note on Poisson approximation.
We obtain in this note evaluations of the total variation distance and of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance between the sum of n random variables with non identical Bernoulli distributions and a Poisson distribution. Some of our results precise bounds obtained by Le Cam, Serfling, Barbour and Hall.It is shown, among other results, that if p1 = P (X1=1), ..., pn = P (Xn=1) satisfy some appropriate conditions, such that p = 1/n Σipi → 0, np → ∞, np2 → 0, then the total variation distance between X1+...+Xn...

One more method of Poisson approximation is presented and illustrated with examples concerning binomial, negative binomial and hypergeometric distributions.
A note on Pólya's theorem.
The class of extended Pólya functions Ω = {φ: φ is a continuous real valued real function, φ(-t) = φ(t) ≤ φ(0) ∈ [0,1], límt→∞ φ(t) = c ∈ [0,1] and φ(|t|) is convex} is a convex set. Its extreme points are identified, and using Choquet's theorem it is shown that φ ∈ Ω has an integral representation of the form φ(|t|) = ∫0∞ max{0, 1-|t|y} dG(y), where G is the distribution function of some random variable Y. As on the other hand max{0, 1-|t|y} is the characteristic function of an absolutely continuous...
A note on prediction for discrete time series
Let be a stationary and ergodic time series taking values from a finite or countably infinite set and that is a function of the process with finite second moment. Assume that the distribution of the process is otherwise unknown. We construct a sequence of stopping times along which we will be able to estimate the conditional expectation from the observations in a point wise consistent way for a restricted class of stationary and ergodic finite or countably infinite alphabet time series...

A note on quenched moderate deviations for Sinai’s random walk in random environment
We consider the continuous time, one-dimensional random walk in random environment in Sinai’s regime. We show that the probability for the particle to be, at time and in a typical environment, at a distance larger than () from its initial position, is .

We consider the continuous time, one-dimensional random walk in random environment in Sinai's regime.
