Estimation of parameters of a spherical invariant stable distribution

Piotr Szymański (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper concerns the estimation of the parameters that describe spherical invariant stable distributions: the index α ∈ (0,2] and the scale parameter σ >0. We present a kind of moment estimators derived from specially transformed original data.

Functional inequalities for discrete gradients and application to the geometric distribution

Aldéric Joulin, Nicolas Privault (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We present several functional inequalities for finite difference gradients, such as a Cheeger inequality, Poincaré and (modified) logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, associated deviation estimates, and an exponential integrability property. In the particular case of the geometric distribution on we use an integration by parts formula to compute the optimal isoperimetric and Poincaré constants, and to obtain an improvement of our general logarithmic Sobolev inequality. By a...

Functional inequalities for discrete gradients and application to the geometric distribution

Aldéric Joulin, Nicolas Privault (2004)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We present several functional inequalities for finite difference gradients, such as a Cheeger inequality, Poincaré and (modified) logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, associated deviation estimates, and an exponential integrability property. In the particular case of the geometric distribution on we use an integration by parts formula to compute the optimal isoperimetric and Poincaré constants, and to obtain an improvement of our general logarithmic Sobolev inequality. By a limiting procedure we...

Generalized tempered stable processes

Jan Rosiński, Jennifer L. Sinclair (2010)

Banach Center Publications

This work introduces the class of generalized tempered stable processes which encompass variations on tempered stable processes that have been introduced in the field, including "modified tempered stable processes", "layered stable processes", and "Lamperti stable processes". Short and long time behavior of GTS Lévy processes is characterized and the absolute continuity of GTS processes with respect to the underlying stable processes is established. Series representations of GTS Lévy processes are...

Geometric infinite divisibility, stability, and self-similarity: an overview

Tomasz J. Kozubowski (2010)

Banach Center Publications

The concepts of geometric infinite divisibility and stability extend the classical properties of infinite divisibility and stability to geometric convolutions. In this setting, a random variable X is geometrically infinitely divisible if it can be expressed as a random sum of N p components for each p ∈ (0,1), where N p is a geometric random variable with mean 1/p, independent of the components. If the components have the same distribution as that of a rescaled X, then X is (strictly) geometric stable....

Geometric Stable Laws Through Series Representations

Kozubowski, Tomasz, Podgórski, Krzysztof (1999)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Let (Xi ) be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, and let N be a geometric random variable independent of (Xi ). Geometric stable distributions are weak limits of (normalized) geometric compounds, SN = X1 + · · · + XN , when the mean of N converges to infinity. By an appropriate representation of the individual summands in SN we obtain series representation of the limiting geometric stable distribution. In addition, we study the asymptotic...
