Empirical estimates in stochastic optimization via distribution tails

Vlasta Kaňková (2010)

Kybernetika

“Classical” optimization problems depending on a probability measure belong mostly to nonlinear deterministic optimization problems that are, from the numerical point of view, relatively complicated. On the other hand, these problems fulfil very often assumptions giving a possibility to replace the “underlying” probability measure by an empirical one to obtain “good” empirical estimates of the optimal value and the optimal solution. Convergence rate of these estimates have been studied mostly for...

Ergodicity of a certain class of non Feller models : applications to 𝐴𝑅𝐶𝐻 and Markov switching models

Jean-Gabriel Attali (2004)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We provide an extension of topological methods applied to a certain class of Non Feller Models which we call Quasi-Feller. We give conditions to ensure the existence of a stationary distribution. Finally, we strengthen the conditions to obtain a positive Harris recurrence, which in turn implies the existence of a strong law of large numbers.

Finitely-additive, countably-additive and internal probability measures

Haosui Duanmu, William Weiss (2018)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We discuss two ways to construct standard probability measures, called push-down measures, from internal probability measures. We show that the Wasserstein distance between an internal probability measure and its push-down measure is infinitesimal. As an application to standard probability theory, we show that every finitely-additive Borel probability measure P on a separable metric space is a limit of a sequence of countably-additive Borel probability measures { P n } n in the sense that f d P = lim n f d P n for all bounded...

Invariance principles for random walks conditioned to stay positive

Francesco Caravenna, Loïc Chaumont (2008)

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

Let {Snbe a random walk in the domain of attraction of a stable law 𝒴 , i.e. there exists a sequence of positive real numbers ( an) such that Sn/anconverges in law to 𝒴 . Our main result is that the rescaled process (S⌊nt⌋/an, t≥0), when conditioned to stay positive, converges in law (in the functional sense) towards the corresponding stable Lévy process conditioned to stay positive. Under some additional assumptions, we also prove a related invariance principle for the random walk killed at its first...
