Annuncio Seminario - Peter Eichelsbacher - Tor Vergata

Ciclo di Seminari - Progetto ERC PASCAL (Probabilistic and Statistical Techniques for Cosmological Applications) Mercoledì 6 aprile ore 12:30 Aula D'Antoni Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata Speaker: Peter Eichelsbacher, Ruhr-Universität Bochum Title: Malliavin-Stein method for Variance-Gamma approximation on Wiener space. Abstract: In a joint work with Christoph Thäle, we combine Malliavin calculus with Stein's method to derive bounds for the Variance-Gamma approximation of functionals of isonormal Gaussian processes, in particular of random variables living inside a fixed Wiener chaos induced by such a process. The bounds are presented in terms of Malliavin operators and norms of contractions. We show that a sequence of distributions of random variables in the second Wiener chaos converges to a Variance-Gamma distribution if and only if their moments of order two to six converge to that of a Variance-Gamma distributed random variable (six moment theorem). Moreover, simplified versions for Laplace or symmetrized Gamma distributions are presented. Also multivariate extensions and a universality result for homogeneous sums are considered. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario Prof. Y. Mishura (presso Dip. Scienze Statistiche, Roma)
by Alessandro Degregorio 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A v v i s o d i S e m i n a r i o ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Venerdì 1 Aprile, ore 11 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stanza 34 Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche "Sapienza" Università di Roma Prof. Yuliya Mishura (Kyiv University) *Titolo:* *Between two self-similarities* *Sintesi:* Everybody knows that fractional Brownian motion with any Hurst index is a self-similar process with stationary increments. According to geometric terminology of J. P. Kahane, it belongs to helix. Self-similarity and incremental stationarity are very useful when we study the properties of different functionals based on fBm however these properties are rather restrictive. For example, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process starting from zero time point is neither self-similar nor stationary or with stationary increments. Therefore the goal of the present talk is to consider wider class of Gaussian processes. In our terminology, they live between two self-similarities, or belong to the generalized quasi-helix. We consider three problems concerning such processes: --asymptotic behavior of maximal functionals; --representation theorems involving integrals w.r.t. such processes; --some statistical results. The results are common with: Alexander Novikov (Sydney University), Mikhail Zhitlukhin (Steklov Mathematical Institute), Georgij Shevchenko (Kyiv University) and Kostjantin Ralchenko (Kyiv University) Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti Alessandro De Gregorio
