The purpose of this paper is to investigate the deviation inequalities and the moderate deviation principle of the least squares estimators of the unknown parameters of general th-order asymmetric bifurcating autoregressive processes, under suitable assumptions on the driven noise of the process. Our investigation relies on the moderate deviation principle for martingales.
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...
Este trabajo presenta diversas extensiones de la identidad de Wald, con interpretaciones en términos del comportamiento de un embalse. Se considera la independencia y diversos casos de dependencia (markoviana homogénea, markoviana no homogénea) de las variables aleatorias "entrada neta" al embalse. En tiempo continuo, se incluye una identidad de Wald para el proceso de Poisson compuesto.
In the context of high frequency data, one often has to deal with observations occurring at irregularly spaced times, at transaction times for example in finance. Here we examine how the estimation of the squared or other powers of the volatility is affected by irregularly spaced data. The emphasis is on the kind of assumptions on the sampling scheme which allow to provide consistent estimators, together with an associated central limit theorem, and especially when the sampling scheme depends on...
A random graph evolution based on interactions of N vertices is studied. During the evolution both the preferential attachment rule and the uniform choice of vertices are allowed. The weight of an M-clique means the number of its interactions. The asymptotic behaviour of the weight of a fixed M-clique is studied. Asymptotic theorems for the weight and the degree of a fixed vertex are also presented. Moreover, the limits of the maximal weight and the maximal degree are described. The proofs are based...
Martingale Hardy spaces and BMO spaces generated by an operator T are investigated. An atomic decomposition of the space is given if the operator T is predictable. We generalize the John-Nirenberg theorem, namely, we prove that the spaces generated by an operator T are all equivalent. The sharp operator is also considered and it is verified that the norm of the sharp operator is equivalent to the norm. The interpolation spaces between the Hardy and BMO spaces are identified by the real method....
