Large deviations and full Edgeworth expansions for finite Markov chains with applications to the analysis of genomic sequences

Pierre Pudlo (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

To establish lists of words with unexpected frequencies in long sequences, for instance in a molecular biology context, one needs to quantify the exceptionality of families of word frequencies in random sequences. To this aim, we study large deviation probabilities of multidimensional word counts for Markov and hidden Markov models. More specifically, we compute local Edgeworth expansions of arbitrary degrees for multivariate partial sums of lattice valued functionals of finite Markov...

Limit theorems for some functionals with heavy tails of a discrete time Markov chain

Patrick Cattiaux, Mawaki Manou-Abi (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Consider an irreducible, aperiodic and positive recurrent discrete time Markov chain (Xn,n ≥ 0) with invariant distribution μ. We shall investigate the long time behaviour of some functionals of the chain, in particular the additive functional S n = i = 1 n f ( X i ) S n = ∑ i = 1 n f ( X i ) for a possibly non square integrable functionf. To this end we shall link ergodic properties of the chain to mixing properties, extending known results in the continuous time case. We will then use existing results of convergence...

Limit theorems for stationary Markov processes with L2-spectral gap

Déborah Ferré, Loïc Hervé, James Ledoux (2012)

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

Let ( X t , Y t ) t 𝕋 be a discrete or continuous-time Markov process with state space 𝕏 × d where 𝕏 is an arbitrary measurable set. Its transition semigroup is assumed to be additive with respect to the second component, i.e. ( X t , Y t ) t 𝕋 is assumed to be a Markov additive process. In particular, this implies that the first component ( X t ) t 𝕋 is also a Markov process. Markov random walks or additive functionals of a Markov process are special instances of Markov additive processes. In this paper, the process ( Y t ) t 𝕋 is shown to satisfy the...
