On the number of word occurrences in a semi-Markov sequence of letters

Margarita Karaliopoulou (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Let a finite alphabet Ω. We consider a sequence of letters from Ω generated by a discrete time semi-Markov process { Z γ ; γ } . We derive the probability of a word occurrence in the sequence. We also obtain results for the mean and variance of the number of overlapping occurrences of a word in a finite discrete time semi-Markov sequence of letters under certain conditions.

On the properties of the Generalized Normal Distribution

Thomas L. Toulias, Christos P. Kitsos (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

The target of this paper is to provide a critical review and to enlarge the theory related to the Generalized Normal Distributions (GND). This three term (position, scale shape) distribution is based in a strong theoretical background due to Logarithm Sobolev Inequalities. Moreover, the GND is the appropriate one to support the Generalized entropy type Fisher's information measure.

On the tails of the distribution of the maximum of a smooth stationary gaussian process

Jean-Marc Azaïs, Jean-Marc Bardet, Mario Wschebor (2002)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We study the tails of the distribution of the maximum of a stationary gaussian process on a bounded interval of the real line. Under regularity conditions including the existence of the spectral moment of order 8, we give an additional term for this asymptotics. This widens the application of an expansion given originally by Piterbarg [11] for a sufficiently small interval.
