Inferring the residual waiting time for binary stationary time series

Gusztáv Morvai, Benjamin Weiss (2014)

Kybernetika

For a binary stationary time series define σ n to be the number of consecutive ones up to the first zero encountered after time n , and consider the problem of estimating the conditional distribution and conditional expectation of σ n after one has observed the first n outputs. We present a sequence of stopping times and universal estimators for these quantities which are pointwise consistent for all ergodic binary stationary processes. In case the process is a renewal process with zero the renewal state...

Infinite divisibility of solutions to some self-similar integro-differential equations and exponential functionals of Lévy processes

Patie Pierre (2009)

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

We first characterize the increasing eigenfunctions associated to the following family of integro-differential operators, for any α, x>0, γ≥0 and fa smooth function on + , 𝐋 ( γ ) f ( x ) = x - α ( σ 2 x 2 f ' ' ( x ) + ( σ γ + b ) x f ' ( x ) + 0 f e - r x - f ( x ) e - r γ + x f ' ( x ) r 𝕀 { r 1 } ν ( d r ) ) , ( 0 . 1 ) where the coefficients b ,σ≥0 and the measure ν, which satisfies the integrability condition ∫0∞(1∧r2)ν(dr)<+∞, are uniquely determined by the distribution of a spectrally negative, infinitely divisible random variable, with characteristic exponent ψ. L(γ) is known to be the infinitesimal generator of a positive...

Infinitely divisible processes and their potential theory. II

Sidney C. Port, Charles J. Stone (1971)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

This second part of our two part work on i.d. process has four main goals:(1) To develop a potential operator for recurrent i.d. (infinitely divisible) processes and to use this operator to find the asymptotic behavior of the hitting distribution and Green’s function for relatively compact sets in the recurrent case.(2) To develop the appropriate notion of an equilibrium measure and Robin’s constant for Borel sets.(3) To establish the asymptotic behavior questions of a potential theoretic nature...

Infinitely divisible processes and their potential theory. I

Sidney C. Port, Charles J. Stone (1971)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We show that associated with every i.d. (infinitely divisible) process on a locally compact, non-compact 2nd countable Abelian group is a corresponding potential theory that yields definitive results on the behavior of the process in both space and time. Our results are general, no density or other smoothness assumptions are made on the process. In this first part of two part work we have four main goals.(1) To lay the probabilistic foundation of such processes. This mainly consists in giving the...
