Growth Rates of Sample Covariances of Stationary Symmetric -stable Processes Associated with Null Recurrent Markov Chains
A null recurrent Markov chain is associated with a stationary mixing SS process. The resulting process exhibits such strong dependence that its sample covariance grows at a surprising rate which is slower than one would expect based on the fatness of the marginal distribution tails. An additional feature of the process is that the sample autocorrelations converge to non-random limits.
متن کاملDiscrete chaotic calculus and covariance identities ∗
We show that for the binomial process (or Bernoulli random walk) the orthogonal functionals constructed in Kroeker [14] for Markov chains can be expressed using the Krawtchouk polynomials, and by iterated stochastic integrals. This allows to construct a chaotic calculus based on gradient and divergence operators and structure equations, and to establish a Clark representation formula. As an app...
متن کاملCovariance Ordering for Discrete and Continuous Time Markov Chains
The covariance ordering, for discrete and continuous time Markov chains, is defined and studied. This partial ordering gives a necessary and sufficient condition for MCMC estimators to have small asymptotic variance. Connections between this ordering, eigenvalues, and suprema of the spectrum of the Markov transition kernel, are provided. A representation of the asymptotic variance of MCMC estim...
متن کاملCirculant embedding of approximate covariances for inference from Gaussian data on large lattices
We introduce periodic covariance approximations designed for embedding covariance matrices for lattice-located observations inside of nested block circulant covariance matrices. The approximations are positive definite provided that the embedding lattice is at least as large as the observation lattice, in contrast with standard circulant embedding methods that require the embedding lattice to b...
متن کاملDecentralized State Estimation via a Hybrid of Consensus and Covariance intersection
This paper presents a new recursive information consensus filter for decentralized dynamic-state estimation. No structure is assumed about the topology of the network and local estimators are assumed to have access only to local information. The network need not be connected at all times. Consensus over priors which might become correlated is performed through Covariance Intersection (CI) and c...

Abstract. We study a collection of discrete Markov chains related to the causal set approach to modeling discrete theories of quantum gravity. The transition probabilities of these chains satisfy a general covariance principle, a causality principle, and a renormalizability condition. The corresponding dynamics are completely determined by a sequence of nonnegative real coupling constants. Usin...
