This paper deals with measurable stationary symmetric stable random fields indexed by R^d and their relationship with the ergodic theory of nonsingular R^d-actions. Based on the phenomenal work of Rosinski(2000), we establish extensions of some structure results of stationary S alpha S processes to SαS fields. Depending on the ergodic theoretical nature of the underlying action, we observe different behaviors of the extremes of the field.
Based on the ratio of two block maxima, we propose a large sample test for the length of memory of a stationary symmetric $α$-stable discrete parameter random field. We show that the power function converges to one as the sample-size increases to infinity under various classes of alternatives having longer memory in the sense of Samorodnitsky(2004). Ergodic theory of nonsingular $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions play a very important role in the design and analysis of our large sample test.
This is a self-contained introduction to the applications of ergodic theory of nonsingular (also known as quasi-invariant) group actions and the structure theorem for finitely generated abelian groups on the extreme values of stationary symmetric stable random fields indexed by $\mathbb{Z}^d$. It is based on a mini course given in the Eighth Lectures on Probability and Stochastic Processes (held in the Bangalore Centre of Indian Statistical Institute during December 6-10, 2013) except that a few recent references have been added in the concluding part. This article is a survey of existing work…
On the mixing structure of stationary increment and self-similar symmetric α-stable processes
在平稳对称α稳定(SαS)过程的遍历分解中,出现了混合滑动平均过程.它们对应于产生SαS过程的“确定性”流的耗散部分(Rosinski,1995)。沿着这条路线,我们研究平稳增量和自相似SαS过程。由于平稳增量过程类和自相似过程类可以分别通过Masani变换和Lamperti变换嵌入到平稳过程类中,我们用非奇异流和相关的上循环刻画了这两类SαS过程.我们用Surgailis,Rosinski,Mandrekar and Cambanis,1992中引入的自相似混合移动平均SαS过程的各种例子来说明这种方法。
In this work, we solve an open problem mentioned in Xiao (2010) and provide sharp bounds on the rate of growth of maximal moments for stationary symmetric stable random fields using structure theorem of finitely generated abelian groups and ergodic theory of quasi-invariant group actions. We also investigate the relationship between this rate of growth and the path regularity properties of self-similar stable random fields with stationary increments, and establish uniform modulus of continuity of such fields. In the process, a new notion of weak effective dimension is introduced for stable ran…
