This paper deals with the discrete-time risk model with nonidentically distributed claims. We suppose that the claims repeat with time periods of three units, that is, claim distributions coincide at times $\{1,4,7,\dots \}$, at times $\{2,5,8,\dots \}$, and at times $\{3,6,9,\dots \}$. We present the recursive formulas to calculate the finite-time and ultimate ruin probabilities. We illustrate the theoretical results by several numerical examples.
The article is devoted to the estimation of the convergence rate of integral functionals of a Markov process. Under the assumption that the given Markov process admits a transition probability density differentiable in t and the derivative has an integrable upper bound of a certain type, we derive the accuracy rates for strong and weak approximations of the functionals by Riemannian sums. We also develop a version of the parametrix method, which provides the required upper bound for the derivative of the transition probability density for a solution of an SDE driven by a locally stable process. As an application, we give accuracy bounds for an approximation of the price of an occupation time option.
We obtain the distance between the exact and approximate distributions of partial maxima of a random sample under power normalization. It is observed that the Hellinger distance and variational distance between the exact and approximate distributions of partial maxima under power normalization is the same as the corresponding distances under linear normalization.
The article is devoted to finding conditions for the packing dimension preservation by distribution functions of random variables with independent $\tilde{Q}$-digits.
The notion of “faithfulness of fine packing systems for packing dimension calculation” is introduced, and connections between this notion and packing dimension preservation are found.
We consider a discrete-time approximation of paths of an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process as a mean for estimation of a price of European call option in the model of financial market with stochastic volatility. The Euler–Maruyama approximation scheme is implemented. We determine the estimates for the option price for predetermined sets of parameters. The rate of convergence of the price and an average volatility when discretization intervals tighten are determined. Discretization precision is analyzed for the case where the exact value of the price can be derived.
We consider a finite mixture model with varying mixing probabilities. Linear regression models are assumed for observed variables with coefficients depending on the mixture component the observed subject belongs to. A modification of the least-squares estimator is proposed for estimation of the regression coefficients. Consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimates is demonstrated.
We show that every multiparameter Gaussian process with integrable variance function admits a Wiener integral representation of Fredholm type with respect to the Brownian sheet. The Fredholm kernel in the representation can be constructed as the unique symmetric square root of the covariance. We analyze the equivalence of multiparameter Gaussian processes by using the Fredholm representation and show how to construct series expansions for multiparameter Gaussian processes by using the Fredholm kernel.
We establish the Gärtner–Ellis condition for the square of an asymptotically stationary Gaussian process. The same limit holds for the conditional distribution given any fixed initial point, which entails weak multiplicative ergodicity. The limit is shown to be the Laplace transform of a convolution of gamma distributions with Poisson compound of exponentials. A proof based on the Wiener–Hopf factorization induces a probabilistic interpretation of the limit in terms of a regression problem.
