Long-range self-avoiding walk converges to α-stable processes

Markus Heydenreich (2011)

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

We consider a long-range version of self-avoiding walk in dimension d > 2(α ∧ 2), where d denotes dimension and α the power-law decay exponent of the coupling function. Under appropriate scaling we prove convergence to brownian motion for α ≥ 2, and to α-stable Lévy motion for α < 2. This complements results by Slade [J. Phys. A21 (1988) L417–L420], who proves convergence to brownian motion for nearest-neighbor self-avoiding walk in high dimension.

Loop-free Markov chains as determinantal point processes

Alexei Borodin (2008)

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

We show that any loop-free Markov chain on a discrete space can be viewed as a determinantal point process. As an application, we prove central limit theorems for the number of particles in a window for renewal processes and Markov renewal processes with Bernoulli noise.

M -estimation in nonlinear regression for longitudinal data

Martina Orsáková (2007)

Kybernetika

The longitudinal regression model Z i j = m ( θ 0 , 𝕏 i ( T i j ) ) + ε i j , where Z i j is the j th measurement of the i th subject at random time T i j , m is the regression function, 𝕏 i ( T i j ) is a predictable covariate process observed at time T i j and ε i j is a noise, is studied in marked point process framework. In this paper we introduce the assumptions which guarantee the consistency and asymptotic normality of smooth M -estimator of unknown parameter θ 0 .

Majorization of sequences, sharp vector Khinchin inequalities, and bisubharmonic functions

Albert Baernstein II, Robert C. Culverhouse (2002)

Studia Mathematica

Let X = i = 1 k a i U i , Y = i = 1 k b i U i , where the U i are independent random vectors, each uniformly distributed on the unit sphere in ℝⁿ, and a i , b i are real constants. We prove that if b ² i is majorized by a ² i in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya, and if Φ: ℝⁿ → ℝ is continuous and bisubharmonic, then EΦ(X) ≤ EΦ(Y). Consequences include most of the known sharp L ² - L p Khinchin inequalities for sums of the form X. For radial Φ, bisubharmonicity is necessary as well as sufficient for the majorization inequality to always hold. Counterparts...

Majorizing Measures and Ultrametric Spaces

Witold Bednorz (2012)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Talagrand's proof of the sufficiency of existence of a majorizing measure for the sample boundedness of processes with bounded increments used a contraction from a certain ultrametric space. We give a short proof of existence of such an ultrametric using admissible sequences of nets.

Manifold indexed fractional fields

Jacques Istas (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

(Local) self-similarity is a seminal concept, especially for Euclidean random fields. We study in this paper the extension of these notions to manifold indexed fields. We give conditions on the (local) self-similarity index that ensure the existence of fractional fields. Moreover, we explain how to identify the self-similar index. We describe a way of simulating Gaussian fractional fields.
