A note on the invariance principle of the product of sums of random variables.
We improve the constants in the Men’shov-Rademacher inequality by showing that for n ≥ 64, for all orthogonal random variables X₁,..., Xₙ such that .
A system with a single activated unit, which can be in a finite number of states, is considered. Inspections of the system are carried out at discrete time instants. It is possible to replace it by a new one at these moments. The user of the system, by setting down conditions of replacements, wants to maximize his gain, which does not include the rest value of units. On a numerical example it is shown that the frequency of replacements of the unit need not be the greater the longer is the period...
In the paper the convergence of a mixed Runge--Kutta method of the first and second orders to a strong solution of the Ito stochastic differential equation is studied under a monotonicity condition.
The strong consistency of least squares estimates in multiples regression models with i.i.d. errors is obtained under assumptions on the design matrix and moment restrictions on the errors.
We revisit the proof of existence of weak solutions of stochastic differential equations with continuous coeficients. In standard proofs, the coefficients are approximated by more regular ones and it is necessary to prove that: i) the laws of solutions of approximating equations form a tight set of measures on the paths space, ii) its cluster points are laws of solutions of the limit equation. We aim at showing that both steps may be done in a particularly simple and elementary manner.
