In usual diffusion, the concentration profile, starting from an initial distribution showing sharp features, first gets smooth and then converges to a Gaussian. By considering several examples, we show that the art of convergence to a…

We present two data-driven procedures to estimate the transition density of an homogeneous Markov chain. The first yields to a piecewise constant estimator on a suitable random partition. By using an Hellinger-type loss, we establish…
