Exact laws for sums of ratios of order statistics from the Pareto distribution

André Adler (2006)

Open Mathematics

Consider independent and identically distributed random variables {X nk, 1 ≤ k ≤ m, n ≤ 1} from the Pareto distribution. We select two order statistics from each row, X n(i) ≤ X n(j), for 1 ≤ i < j ≤ = m. Then we test to see whether or not Laws of Large Numbers with nonzero limits exist for weighted sums of the random variables R ij = X n(j)/X n(i).

Exact slopes of the rank statistics for the two-sample case under discrete distributions

Dana Vorlíčková (1981)

Aplikace matematiky

The author studies the linear rank statistics for testing the pypothesis of randomness against the alternative of two samples provided both are drawn grom discrete (integer-valued) distributions. The weak law of large numbers and the exact slope are obtained for statistics with randomized ranks of with averaged scores.

Existence and asymptotic behaviour of some time-inhomogeneous diffusions

Mihai Gradinaru, Yoann Offret (2013)

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

Let us consider a solution of a one-dimensional stochastic differential equation driven by a standard Brownian motion with time-inhomogeneous drift coefficient ρ sgn ( x ) | x | α / t β . This process can be viewed as a Brownian motion evolving in a potential, possibly singular, depending on time. We prove results on the existence and uniqueness of solution, study its asymptotic behaviour and made a precise description, in terms of parameters ρ , α and β , of the recurrence, transience and convergence. More precisely, asymptotic...

Extremes in multivariate stationary normal sequences

Mateusz Wiśniewski (1998)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper deals with a weak convergence of maximum vectors built on the base of stationary and normal sequences of relatively strongly dependent random vectors. The discussion concentrates on the normality of limits and extends some results of McCormick and Mittal [4] to the multivariate case.

Fractional multiplicative processes

Julien Barral, Benoît Mandelbrot (2009)

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

Statistically self-similar measures on [0, 1] are limit of multiplicative cascades of random weights distributed on the b-adic subintervals of [0, 1]. These weights are i.i.d., positive, and of expectation 1/b. We extend these cascades naturally by allowing the random weights to take negative values. This yields martingales taking values in the space of continuous functions on [0, 1]. Specifically, we consider for each H∈(0, 1) the martingale (Bn)n≥1 obtained when the weights take the values −b−H...

Functional central limit theorems for seeds in a linear birth and growth model

A. Dziwisz, W. Szczotka (2016)

Applicationes Mathematicae

A problem of heredity of mixing properties (α-mixing, β-mixing and ρ-mixing) from a stationary point process on ℝ × ℝ₊ to a sequence of some of its points called 'seeds' is considered. Next, using the mixing properties, several versions of functional central limit theorems for the distances between seeds and the process of the number of seeds are obtained.

Functionals of spatial point processes having a density with respect to the Poisson process

Viktor Beneš, Markéta Zikmundová (2014)

Kybernetika

U -statistics of spatial point processes given by a density with respect to a Poisson process are investigated. In the first half of the paper general relations are derived for the moments of the functionals using kernels from the Wiener-Itô chaos expansion. In the second half we obtain more explicit results for a system of U -statistics of some parametric models in stochastic geometry. In the logarithmic form functionals are connected to Gibbs models. There is an inequality between moments of Poisson...

Gaussian Approximation of Moments of Sums of Independent Random Variables

Marcin Lis (2012)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We continue the research of Latała on improving estimates of the pth moments of sums of independent random variables with logarithmically concave tails. We generalize some of his results in the case of 2 ≤ p ≤ 4 and present a combinatorial approach for even moments.
