Law of the iterated logarithm for stationary processes

There has been recent interest in the conditional central limit question for (strictly) stationary, ergodic processes $...,X_{-1},X_0,X_1,...$ whose partial sums $S_n=X_1+...+X_n$ are of the form $S_n=M_n+R_n$, where $M_n$ is a square integrable martingale with stationary increments and $R_n$ is a remainder term for which $E(R_n^2)=o(n)$. Here we explore the law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) for the same class of processes. Letting $\Vert\cdot\Vert$ denote the norm in $L^2(P)$, a sufficient condition for the partial sums of a stationary process to have the form $S_n=M_n+R_n$ is that $n^{-3/2}\Vert E(S_n|X_0,X_{-1},...)\Vert$ be summable. A sufficient condition for the LIL is only slightly stronger, requiring $n^{-3/2}\log^{3/2}(n)\Vert E(S_n|X_0,X_{-1},...)\Vert$ to be summable. As a by-product of our main result, we obtain an improved statement of the conditional central limit theorem. Invariance principles are obtained as well.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/009117907000000079 the Annals of Probability (http://www.imstat.org/aop/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org

On martingale approximations

Consider additive functionals of a Markov chain $W_k$, with stationary (marginal) distribution and transition function denoted by $\pi$ and $Q$, say $S_n=g(W_1)+...+g(W_n)$, where $g$ is square integrable and has mean 0 with respect to $\pi$. If $S_n$ has the form $S_n=M_n+R_n$, where $M_n$ is a square integrable martingale with stationary increments and $E(R_n^2)=o(n)$, then $g$ is said to admit a martingale approximation. Necessary and sufficient conditions for such an approximation are developed. Two obvious necessary conditions are $E[E(S_n|W_1)^2]=o(n)$ and $\lim_{n\to \infty}E(S_n^2)/n<\infty$. Assuming the first of these, let $\Vert g\Vert^2_+=\limsup_{n\to \infty}E(S_n^2)/n$; then $\Vert\cdot\Vert_+$ defines a pseudo norm on the subspace of $L^2(\pi)$ where it is finite. In one main result, a simple necessary and sufficient condition for a martingale approximation is developed in terms of $\Vert\cdot\Vert_+$. Let $Q^*$ denote the adjoint operator to $Q$, regarded as a linear operator from $L^2(\pi)$ into itself, and consider co-isometries ($QQ^*=I$), an important special case that includes shift processes. In another main result a convenient orthonormal basis for $L_0^2(\pi)$ is identified along with a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a martingale approximation in terms of the coefficients of the expansion of $g$ with respect to this basis.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/07-AAP505 the Annals of Applied Probability (http://www.imstat.org/aap/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org

Better synchronizability predicted by a new coupling method

In this paper, inspired by the idea that the hub nodes of a highly heterogeneous network are not only the bottlenecks, but also effective controllers in the network synchronizing process, we bring forward an asymmetrical coupling method where the coupling strength of each node depends on its neighbors' degrees. Compared with the uniform coupled method and the recently proposed Motter-Zhou-Kurth method, the synchronizability of scale-free networks can be remarkably enhanced by using the present coupled method.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures; to be published in EPJ

Does The Implementation Of ERP Improve The Quality Of Accounting Information? Evidence From Chinese A-Share Listed Manufacturing Firms

Using the data of Chinese A-share listed manufacturing firms, the study explores the influence of ERP implementation on accounting information quality from reliability and relevance. Also, the study verifies the difference of the influence in firms which have different sizes and different ownership types. Compared with the firms not implementing ERP, accounting information quality of the firms implementing ERP improves significantly. In addition, the positive influence differs in firms of different sizes and different ownership types. In large-sized firms, ERP implementation has stronger influence on reliability of accounting information. In non-state-owned firms, ERP implementation has stronger influence on accounting information quality in respect to reliability and relevance. Our study supplies the new evidence to gauge the impact of ERP implementation on accounting information quality in an emerging economy context
