Extremal and additive processes generated by Pareto distributed random vectors

Kosto V. Mitov, Saralees Nadarajah (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Pareto distributions are most popular for modeling heavy tailed data. Here, we obtain weak limits of a sequence of extremal and a sequence of additive processes constructed by a series of Bernoulli point processes with bivariate Pareto space components. For the limiting processes we derive the one dimensional distributions in explicit forms. Some of the main properties of these distributions are also proved.

Extremal (in)dependence of a maximum autoregressive process

Marta Ferreira (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Maximum autoregressive processes like MARMA (Davis and Resnick, [5] 1989) or power MARMA (Ferreira and Canto e Castro, [12] 2008) have singular joint distributions, an unrealistic feature in most applications. To overcome this pitfall, absolute continuous versions were presented in Alpuim and Athayde [2] (1990) and Ferreira and Canto e Castro [14] (2010b), respectively. We consider an extended version of absolute continuous maximum autoregressive processes that accommodates both asymptotic tail...

Extreme distribution functions of copulas

Manuel Úbeda-Flores (2008)

Kybernetika

In this paper we study some properties of the distribution function of the random variable C(X,Y) when the copula of the random pair (X,Y) is M (respectively, W) – the copula for which each of X and Y is almost surely an increasing (respectively, decreasing) function of the other –, and C is any copula. We also study the distribution functions of M(X,Y) and W(X,Y) given that the joint distribution function of the random variables X and Y is any copula.

Extreme order statistics in an equally correlated Gaussian array

Mateusz Wiśniewski (1994)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper contains the results concerning the weak convergence of d-dimensional extreme order statistics in a Gaussian, equally correlated array. Three types of limit distributions are found and sufficient conditions for the existence of these distributions are given.

Extreme values and kernel estimates of point processes boundaries

Stéphane Girard, Pierre Jacob (2004)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We present a method for estimating the edge of a two-dimensional bounded set, given a finite random set of points drawn from the interior. The estimator is based both on a Parzen-Rosenblatt kernel and extreme values of point processes. We give conditions for various kinds of convergence and asymptotic normality. We propose a method of reducing the negative bias and edge effects, illustrated by some simulations.

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.

Extremes of periodic moving averages of random variables with regularly varying tail probabilities.

Ana Paula Martins, Helena Ferreira (2004)

SORT

We define a family of local mixing conditions that enable the computation of the extremal index of periodic sequences from the joint distributions of k consecutive variables of the sequence. By applying results, under local and global mixing conditions, to the (2m - 1)-dependent periodic sequence Xn(m) = Σj=-mm-1 cjZn-j, n ≥ 1, we compute the extremal index of the periodic moving average sequence Xn = Σj=-∞∞ cjZn-j, n ≥ 1, of random variables with regularly varying tail probabilities.This paper...

Extremes of spheroid shape factor based on two dimensional profiles

Daniel Hlubinka (2006)

Kybernetika

The extremal shape factor of spheroidal particles is studied. Three dimensional particles are considered to be observed via their two dimensional profiles and the problem is to predict the extremal shape factor in a given size class. We proof the stability of the domain of attraction of the spheroid’s and its profile shape factor under a tail equivalence condition. We show namely that the Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern bivariate distributions gives the tail uniformity. We provide a way how to find normalising...

Fast deterministic pricing of options on Lévy driven assets

Ana-Maria Matache, Tobias Von Petersdorff, Christoph Schwab (2004)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Arbitrage-free prices u of European contracts on risky assets whose log-returns are modelled by Lévy processes satisfy a parabolic partial integro-differential equation (PIDE) t u + 𝒜 [ u ] = 0 . This PIDE is localized to bounded domains and the error due to this localization is estimated. The localized PIDE is discretized by the θ -scheme in time and a wavelet Galerkin method with N degrees of freedom in log-price space. The dense matrix for 𝒜 can be replaced by a sparse matrix in the wavelet basis, and the linear...

Feynman-Kac formula, λ-Poisson kernels and λ-Green functions of half-spaces and balls in hyperbolic spaces

Tomasz Byczkowski, Jacek Małecki, Tomasz Żak (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We apply the Feynman-Kac formula to compute the λ-Poisson kernels and λ-Green functions for half-spaces or balls in hyperbolic spaces. We present known results in a unified way and also provide new formulas for the λ-Poisson kernels and λ-Green functions of half-spaces in ℍⁿ and for balls in real and complex hyperbolic spaces.
