Positivity of integrated random walks

Vladislav Vysotsky (2014)

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

Take a centered random walk S n and consider the sequence of its partial sums A n : = i = 1 n S i . Suppose S 1 is in the domain of normal attraction of an α -stable law with 1 l t ; α 2 . Assuming that S 1 is either right-exponential (i.e. ( S 1 g t ; x | S 1 g t ; 0 ) = e - a x for some a g t ; 0 and all x g t ; 0 ) or right-continuous (skip free), we prove that { A 1 g t ; 0 , , A N g t ; 0 } C α N 1 / ( 2 α ) - 1 / 2 as N , where C α g t ; 0 depends on the distribution of the walk. We also consider a conditional version of this problem and study positivity of integrated discrete bridges.

Potential theory of one-dimensional geometric stable processes

Tomasz Grzywny, Michał Ryznar (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The purpose of this paper is to find optimal estimates for the Green function and the Poisson kernel for a half-line and intervals of the geometric stable process with parameter α ∈ (0,2]. This process has an infinitesimal generator of the form - l o g ( 1 + ( - Δ ) α / 2 ) . As an application we prove the global scale invariant Harnack inequality as well as the boundary Harnack principle.

Prediction of time series by statistical learning: general losses and fast rates

Pierre Alquier, Xiaoyin Li, Olivier Wintenberger (2013)

Dependence Modeling

We establish rates of convergences in statistical learning for time series forecasting. Using the PAC-Bayesian approach, slow rates of convergence √ d/n for the Gibbs estimator under the absolute loss were given in a previous work [7], where n is the sample size and d the dimension of the set of predictors. Under the same weak dependence conditions, we extend this result to any convex Lipschitz loss function. We also identify a condition on the parameter space that ensures similar rates for the...
