An algebraic approach to Pólya processes

Nicolas Pouyanne (2008)

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

Pólya processes are natural generalizations of Pólya–Eggenberger urn models. This article presents a new approach of their asymptotic behaviour via moments, based on the spectral decomposition of a suitable finite difference transition operator on polynomial functions. Especially, it provides new results for large processes (a Pólya process is called small when 1 is a simple eigenvalue of its replacement matrix and when any other eigenvalue has a real part ≤1/2; otherwise, it is called large).

An invariance principle in L 2 [ 0 , 1 ] for non stationary ϕ -mixing sequences

Paulo Eduardo Oliveira, Charles Suquet (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Invariance principle in L 2 ( 0 , 1 ) is studied using signed random measures. This approach to the problem uses an explicit isometry between L 2 ( 0 , 1 ) and a reproducing kernel Hilbert space giving a very convenient setting for the study of compactness and convergence of the sequence of Donsker functions. As an application, we prove a L 2 ( 0 , 1 ) version of the invariance principle in the case of ϕ -mixing random variables. Our result is not available in the D ( 0 , 1 ) -setting.

Asymptotic properties of power variations of Lévy processes

Jean Jacod (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We determine the asymptotic behavior of the realized power variations, and more generally of sums of a given function f evaluated at the increments of a Lévy process between the successive times iΔn for i = 0,1,...,n. One can elucidate completely the first order behavior, that is the convergence in probability of such sums, possibly after normalization and/or centering: it turns out that there is a rather wide variety of possible behaviors, depending on the structure of jumps and on the chosen...
