A stochastic process with movement, return, and rest phases is considered in this paper. For the movement phase, the particles move following the dynamics of Gaussian process or ballistic type of L\'evy walk, and the time of each movement…

We investigate the utility to computational Bayesian analyses of a particular family of recursive marginal likelihood estimators characterized by the (equivalent) algorithms known as "biased sampling" or "reverse logistic regression" in the…

For a bivariate random vector (X,Y), symmetry conditions are presented that yield stochastic orderings among |X|, |Y|, |max(X,Y)|, and | min(X, Y)|. Partial extensions of these results for multivariate random vectors (X1,...,Xn) are also…

We solve an adaptive search model where a random walker or L\'evy flight stochastically resets to previously visited sites on a $d$-dimensional lattice containing one trapping site. Due to reinforcement, a phase transition occurs when the…

A reflection map, induced by the deterministic Skorohod problem on the nonnegative orthant, is applied to an $\mathbb{R}^n$ valued function $X$ on $[0,\infty)$ and then to $a+X$, where $a$ is a nonnegative constant vector. A question that…

For a class of stationary Markov-dependent sequences $(A_n,B_n)\in\mathbb{R}^2,$ we consider the random linear recursion $S_n=A_n+B_nS_{n-1},$ $n\in\mathbb{Z},$ and show that the distribution tail of its stationary solution has a power law…

In this article, we analyze three classes of time-reversal of a Markov process with Gaussian noise on a manifold. We first unveil a commutativity constraint for the most general of these time-reversals to be well defined. Then we give a…

This paper presents an identity between the multivariate and univariate saddlepoint approximations applied to sample path probabilities for a certain class of stochastic processes. This class, which we term the recursively compounded…

In this paper, we study existence and uniqueness to multidimensional Reflected Backward Stochastic Differential Equation in an open convex domain, allowing for oblique directions of reflection. In a Markovian framework, combining \emph{a…

We propose a novel method to directly learn a stochastic transition operator whose repeated application provides generated samples. Traditional undirected graphical models approach this problem indirectly by learning a Markov chain model…

In the convolution model $Z\_i=X\_i+ \epsilon\_i$, we give a model selection procedure to estimate the density of the unobserved variables $(X\_i)\_{1 \leq i \leq n}$, when the sequence $(X\_i)\_{i \geq 1}$ is strictly stationary but not…

Conditions for positive and polynomial recurrence have been proposed for a class of reliability models of two elements with transitions from working state to failure and back. As a consequence, uniqueness of stationary distribution of the…

In this article, we proposed an inverse Lindley distribution and studied its fundamental properties such as quantiles, mode, stochastic ordering and entropy measure. The proposed distribution is observed to be a heavy-tailed distribution…

Stochastic processes that are randomly reset to an initial condition serve as a showcase to investigate non-equilibrium steady states. However, all existing results have been restricted to the special case of memoryless resetting protocols.…

By killing a stable L\'{e}vy process when it leaves the positive half-line, or by conditioning it to stay positive, or by conditioning it to hit 0 continuously, we obtain three different positive self-similar Markov processes which…

We consider a random two-phase process which we call a reset-return one. The particle starts its motion at the origin. The first, displacement, phase corresponds to a stochastic motion of a particle and is finished at a resetting event. The…

We construct an autoregressive model with random coefficients that has a stationary distribution after proper normalization. This limit distribution is found to be stable.

We consider a linear recursion of the form $$R^{(k+1)}\stackrel{\mathcal D}{=}\sum_{i=1}^{N}C_iR^{(k)}_i+Q,$$ where $(Q,N,C_1,C_2,\dots)$ is a real-valued random vector with $N\in\mathbb{N}=\{0, 1, 2, \dots\}$,…

Let $X_1,...,X_N$ denote $N$ independent $d$-dimensional L\'evy processes, and consider the $N$-parameter random field \[\X(\bm{t}):= X_1(t_1)+...+X_N(t_N).\] First we demonstrate that for all nonrandom Borel sets $F\subseteq\R^d$, the…

The Lindley distribution was first introduced by Lindley in 1958 for Bayesian computations. Over the past years, various generalizations of this distribution have been proposed by different authors. The generalized Lindley distributions…
