Hsu-Robbins and Spitzer's theorems for the variations of fractional Brownian motion

Using recent results on the behavior of multiple Wiener-It\^o integrals based on Stein's method, we prove Hsu-Robbins and Spitzer's theorems for sequences of correlated random variables related to the increments of the fractional Brownian motion.Comment: To appear in "Electronic Communications in Probability

Limits of bifractional Brownian noises

Let $B^{H,K}=(B^{H,K}_{t}, t\geq 0)$ be a bifractional Brownian motion with two parameters $H\in (0,1)$ and $K\in(0,1]$. The main result of this paper is that the increment process generated by the bifractional Brownian motion $(B^{H,K}_{h+t} -B^{H,K}_{h}, t\geq 0)$ converges when $h\to \infty$ to $(2^{(1-K)/{2}}B^{HK}_{t}, t\geq 0)$, where $(B^{HK}_{t}, t\geq 0)$ is the fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index $HK$. We also study the behavior of the noise associated to the bifractional Brownian motion and limit theorems to $B^{H,K}$

Variations and estimators for the selfsimilarity order through Malliavin calculus

Using multiple stochastic integrals and the Malliavin calculus, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of quadratic variations for a specific non-Gaussian self-similar process, the Rosenblatt process. We apply our results to the design of strongly consistent statistical estimators for the self-similarity parameter $H$. Although, in the case of the Rosenblatt process, our estimator has non-Gaussian asymptotics for all $H>1/2$, we show the remarkable fact that the process's data at time 1 can be used to construct a distinct, compensated estimator with Gaussian asymptotics for $H\in(1/2,2/3)$
