On the Distribution of a Quadratic Form in Normal Variates
It is a well-known theorem in linear models that the idempotency of a matrix is a sufficient and necessary condition for a quadratic form in normal variates to have a chi-square distribution, but its proofs in the early literature were incorrect or incomplete. Driscoll (1999) provided an improved proof, and this article presents a simple proof. More importantly, we establish and prove a general...
متن کاملDistribution Tails of Sample Quantiles and Subexponentiality
We show that subexponentiality is not suucient to guarantee that the distribution tail of a sample quantile of an innnitely divisible process is equivalent to the \tail" of the same sample quantile under the corresponding L evy measure. However, such an equivalence result is shown to hold under either an assumption of an appropriatly slow tail decay or an assumption on the structure of the proc...
متن کاملHeavy Tails and Mixed Distribution Hypothesis
We outline the Mixed Distribution Hypothesis as a means to explain heavy tails in ...nancial time series. We discuss the hypothesis’ historical roots, and fully present the most popular, and original, form of the hypothesis and its implications for modeling asset returns. Original contributions and modern extensions are cited.
متن کاملTails from the Orphanage
Examining a portion of the northern Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) footprint, we detect at least three and possibly seven halo debris streams. One of these (PS1-D) was recently detected in the Pan-STARRS1 p 3 survey, and the remaining two are also evident as extensions of the SDSS detections. All of these streams are metal-poor and are found at a distance of around 21±5 kpc. The streams are ...
متن کاملFrom light tails to heavy tails through multiplier
Let X and Y be two independent nonnegative random variables, of which X has a distribution belonging to the class L(γ ) or S(γ ) for some γ ≥ 0 and Y is unbounded. We study how their product XY inherits the tail behavior of X. Under some mild technical assumptions we prove that the distribution of XY belongs to the class L(0) or S(0) accordingly. Hence, the multiplier Y builds a bridge between ...
