Discrete approximation of stable white noise - Application to spatial linear filtering
Motivated by the simulation of stable random fields, we consider the issue of
discrete approximations of independently scattered stable noise. Two approaches
are proposed: grid approximations available when the underlying space is
\bbR^d and shot noise approximations available on more general spaces. Limit
theorems stating the convergence of discrete random noises to stable white
noise are proved. These results are then applied to study moving average
spatial random fields with heavy-tailed innovations and related limit theorems.
A second application deals with discrete approximation for Brownian L\'evy
motion on the sphere or on the euclidean space.Comment: 24
Ergodic decompositions of stationary max-stable processes in terms of their spectral functions
We revisit conservative/dissipative and positive/null decompositions of
stationary max-stable processes. Originally, both decompositions were defined
in an abstract way based on the underlying non-singular flow representation. We
provide simple criteria which allow to tell whether a given spectral function
belongs to the conservative/dissipative or positive/null part of the de Haan
spectral representation. Specifically, we prove that a spectral function is
null-recurrent iff it converges to in the Ces\`{a}ro sense. For processes
with locally bounded sample paths we show that a spectral function is
dissipative iff it converges to . Surprisingly, for such processes a
spectral function is integrable a.s. iff it converges to a.s. Based on
these results, we provide new criteria for ergodicity, mixing, and existence of
a mixed moving maximum representation of a stationary max-stable process in
terms of its spectral functions. In particular, we study a decomposition of
max-stable processes which characterizes the mixing property.Comment: 21 pages, no figure
The on-off network traffic model under intermediate scaling
The result provided in this paper helps complete a unified picture of the
scaling behavior in heavy-tailed stochastic models for transmission of packet
traffic on high-speed communication links. Popular models include infinite
source Poisson models, models based on aggregated renewal sequences, and models
built from aggregated on-off sources. The versions of these models with finite
variance transmission rate share the following pattern: if the sources connect
at a fast rate over time the cumulative statistical fluctuations are fractional
Brownian motion, if the connection rate is slow the traffic fluctuations are
described by a stable L\'evy process, while the limiting fluctuations for the
intermediate scaling regime are given by fractional Poisson motion.Comment: 14
Strong mixing properties of max-infinitely divisible random fields
Let be a sample continuous max-infinitely random
field on a locally compact metric space . For a closed subset , we
note the restriction of to . We consider
the absolute regularity coefficient between and ,
where are two disjoint closed subsets of . Our main result is a
simple upper bound for involving the exponent measure of
: we prove that $\beta(S_1,S_2)\leq 2\int \bbP[\eta\not<_{S_1} f,\
\eta\not <_{S_2} f]\,\mu(df)f\not<_{S} gs\in Sf(s)\geq g(s)\etaS_1S_2\beta(S_1,S_2)\leq
4\sum_{(s_1,s_2)\in S_1\times S_2}(2-\theta(s_1,s_2))\theta(s_1,s_2)\bbZ^d$. In the stationary max-stable case, we
derive the asymptotic normality of three simple estimators of the pair extremal
coefficient.Comment: 27
