Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications

The object of investigation is the mixed fractional Brownian motion of the form ${X_{t}}=\kappa {B_{t}^{{H_{1}}}}+\sigma {B_{t}^{{H_{2}}}}$, driven by two independent fractional Brownian motions ${B_{1}^{H}}$ and ${B_{2}^{H}}$ with Hurst parameters ${H_{1}}\lt {H_{2}}$. Strongly consistent estimators of unknown model parameters ${({H_{1}},{H_{2}},{\kappa ^{2}},{\sigma ^{2}})^{\top }}$ are constructed based on the equidistant observations of a trajectory. Joint asymptotic normality of these estimators is proved for $0\lt {H_{1}}\lt {H_{2}}\lt \frac{3}{4}$.

In this paper, the asmptotics is considered for the distribution tail of a randomly stopped sum ${S_{\nu }}={X_{1}}+\cdots +{X_{\nu }}$ of independent identically distributed consistently varying random variables with zero mean, where ν is a counting random variable independent of $\{{X_{1}},{X_{2}},\dots \}$. The conditions are provided for the relation $\mathbb{P}({S_{\nu }}\gt x)\sim \mathbb{E}\nu \hspace{0.1667em}\mathbb{P}({X_{1}}\gt x)$ to hold, as $x\to \infty $, involving the finiteness of $\mathbb{E}|{X_{1}}|$. The result improves that of Olvera-Cravioto [14], where the finiteness of a moment $\mathbb{E}|{X_{1}}{|^{r}}$ for some $r\gt 1$ was assumed.

The term moderate deviations is often used in the literature to mean a class of large deviation principles that, in some sense, fills the gap between a convergence in probability to zero (governed by a large deviation principle) and a weak convergence to a centered Normal distribution. The notion of noncentral moderate deviations is used when the weak convergence is towards a non-Gaussian distribution. In this paper, noncentral moderate deviation results are presented for two fractional Skellam processes known in the literature (see [20]). It is established that, for the fractional Skellam process of type 2 (for which one can refer to the recent results for compound fractional Poisson processes in [3]), the convergences to zero are usually faster because one can prove suitable inequalities between rate functions.

In this article, a non-Gaussian long memory process is constructed by the aggregation of independent copies of a fractional Lévy Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process with random coefficients. Several properties and a limit theorem are studied for this new process. Finally, some simulations of the limit process are shown.

We prove a quantitative functional central limit theorem for one-hidden-layer neural networks with generic activation function. Our rates of convergence depend heavily on the smoothness of the activation function, and they range from logarithmic for nondifferentiable nonlinearities such as the ReLu to $\sqrt{n}$ for highly regular activations. Our main tools are based on functional versions of the Stein–Malliavin method; in particular, we rely on a quantitative functional central limit theorem which has been recently established by Bourguin and Campese [Electron. J. Probab. 25 (2020), 150].

A solution is given to generalized backward stochastic differential equations driven by a real-valued RCLL martingale on an arbitrary filtered probability space. The existence and uniqueness of a solution are proved via the Yosida approximation method when the generators are only stochastic monotone with respect to the y-variable and stochastic Lipschitz with respect to the z-variable, with different linear growth conditions.
