Let [mu] be a [sigma]-finite measure, R = (rij) be a covariance matrix, and B1,..., Bn be dependent Gaussian measures satisfying EBi(A1) Bj(A2) = rij[mu](A1 [down curve] A2). Multiple integrals of the form In(f) = [integral operator]f(x1,..., xn) dB1(x1) ... dBn(xn), with f [set membership,...

C. D. Hardin, Jr., G. Samorodnitsky, and M. S. Taqqu (1991,Ann. Appl. Probab. 1 582-612) have shown that the regression E[Y X = x] is typically asymptotically linear when (X, Y) is an [alpha]-stable random vector with [alpha] 2. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic...

Fractional Brownian motion is a mean-zero self-similar Gaussian process with stationary increments. Its covariance depends on two parameters, the self-similar parameter H and the variance C. Suppose that one wants to estimate optimally these parameters by using n equally spaced observations. How...

Certain quadratic forms with long-range dependence, normalized by Nd with , have a non-Gaussian limit, but under further normalization, as , the limit becomes Gaussian.

Consider a vector of multilinear polynomial-form processes with either short or long memory components. The components have possibly different coefficients but same noise elements. We study the limit of the normalized partial sums of the vector and identify the independent components.

ARCH models have become popular for modeling financial time series. They seem, at first, however, to be incompatible with the option pricing approach of Black, Scholes, Merton et al., because they are discrete-time models and possess too much variability. We show that completeness of the market...

It is known that Hermite processes have a finite-time interval representation. For fractional Brownian motion, the representation has been well known and plays a fundamental role in developing stochastic calculus for the process. For the Rosenblatt process, the finite-time interval...

We extend results of Maejima (1984) concerning the time that a two-dimensional stationary Gaussian process spends in an elliptical domain. Here: (a) the process may be cross-correlated while the domain is elliptical; (b) the cross-correlations do not vanish asymptotically; (c) a functional limit...
