We analyze the fluctuations of incomplete $U$-statistics over a triangular array of independent random variables. We give criteria for a Central Limit Theorem (CLT, for short) to hold in the sense that we prove that an appropriately scaled…

Let $X=\{X_{t},t\in R_{+}\}$ be a symmetric L\'evy process with local time $\{L^{x}_{t} ; (x,t)\in R^{1}\times R^{1}_{+}\}$. When the L\'evy exponent $\psi(\la)$ is regularly varying at infinity with index $1<\beta\leq 2$ and satisfies some…

We prove central limit theorems (CLT) for empirical processes of extreme values cluster functionals as in Drees and Rootz\'en (2010). We use coupling properties enlightened for Dedecker \& Prieur's $\tau-$dependence coefficients in order to…

In this paper, we study the discretization of the ergodic Functional Central Limit Theorem (CLT) established by Bhattacharya (see \cite{Bhattacharya_1982}) which states the following: Given a stationary and ergodic Markov process $(X_t)_{t…

Let $\{B(t), t \geq 0\}$ be a standard Brownian motion in $\mathbb{R}$. Let $T$ be the first return time to 0 after hitting 1, and $\{L(T,x), x \in \mathbb{R}\}$ be the local time process at time $T$ and level $x$. The distribution of…

Recent work in dynamic causal inference introduced a class of discrete-time stochastic processes that generalize martingale difference sequences and arrays as follows: the random variates in each sequence have expectation zero given certain…

We establish asymptotically Gaussian fluctuations for functionals of a large class of spin models and strongly correlated random point fields, achieving near-optimal rates. For spin models, we demonstrate Gaussian asymptotics for the…

We develop a central limit theorem (CLT) for a non-parametric estimator of the transition matrices in controlled Markov chains (CMCs) with finite state-action spaces. Our results establish precise conditions on the logging policy under…

We show that the centred occupation time process of the origin of a system of critical binary branching random walks in dimension $d\ge 3$, started off either from a Poisson field or in equilibrium, when suitably normalized, converges to a…

Scaling properties of time series are usually studied in terms of the scaling laws of empirical moments, which are the time average estimates of moments of the dynamic variable. Nonlinearities in the scaling function of empirical moments…

For a stochastic process $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ we establish conditions under which the inverse first-passage time problem has a solution for any random variable $\xi >0$. For Markov processes we give additional conditions under which the…

We give some approximations of the local time process $(L_t^x)_{t\geqslant 0}$ at level $x$ of the real Brownian motion $(X_t)$. We prove that $ \frac{2}{\epsilon}\int_0^{t} X_{(u+\epsilon)\wedge t}^+ \indi_{\{X_u \leqslant 0\}} du +…

In the present paper we show that the processes $X_n = \{X_n(t) \colon t \in [0,1]\}$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, defined by $X_n(t) = \sqrt{n}C\int_0^t (-1)^{L(nu)} du$, where $L = \{L(t) \colon t \geq 0\}$ is a renewal processes whose…

In this work, we establish a Trotter-Kato type theorem. More precisely, we characterize the convergence in distribution of Feller processes by examining the convergence of their generators. The main novelty lies in providing quantitative…

The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is one of the most fundamental results in statistics. It states that the standardized sample mean of a sequence of $n$ mutually independent and identically distributed random variables with finite first and…

Let $\{X_k\}_{k \in \mathbb{Z}}$ be a stationary Gaussian process with values in a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_1$, and let $G:\mathcal{H}_1 \to \mathcal{H}_2$ be an operator acting on $X_k$. Under suitable conditions on the…

Drees and Rootz\'en [2010] have proven central limit theorems (CLT) for empirical processes of extreme values cluster functionals built from $\beta$-mixing processes. The problem with this family of $\beta$-mixing processes is that it is…

We construct a stochastic process whose drift is a function of the process's local time at a reflecting barrier. The process arose as a model of the interactions of a Brownian particle and an inert particle in (Knight, 2001). Interesting…

Let the process Y(t) be a Skorohod integral process with respect to Brownian motion. We use a recent result by Tudor (2004), to prove that Y(t) can be represented as the limit of linear combinations of processes that are products of forward…
