Matching marginal moments and lag autocorrelations with MAPs
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a procedure that constructs a Markovian Arrival Process (MAP) based on the mean, the squared coefficient of variation and the lag-1 autocorrelation of the inter-arrival times. This method always provides a valid MAP without posing any restrictions on the three input parameters. Besides matching these three parameters, it is possible to match the third moment of the inter-arrival times and the decay of the autocorrelation function as well, if they fall into the given (very wide) bounds.

Interarrival Times Characterization and Fitting for Markovian Traffic Analysis
We propose a traffic fitting algorithm for Markovian Arrival Processes (MAPs) that can capture statistics of any order of interarrival times. By studying real traffic traces, we show that matching higher order properties, in addition to first and second order descriptors, results in increased queueing prediction accuracy with respect to other algorithms that only match the mean, coefficient of ...
متن کاملA minimal representation of Markov arrival processes and a moments matching method
The paper investigates the problem of minimal representation of Markov arrival processes of order n (MAP(n)). The minimal representation of MAPs is crucial for developing effective fitting methods. It seems that all existing MAP fitting methods are based on the D0, D1 representation which is known to be redundant. We present the minimal number of parameters to define a MAP(n) and provide a nume...
متن کاملA Study of Autocorrelatons and Lead-Lag Effects Using Game-Theoretic Efficient-Market Hypotheses
This paper studies predictions concerning autocorrelations and other lead-lag effects that can be derived from game-theoretic efficient market hypotheses (GEMHs). A GEMH posits that a simple trading strategy will not multiply the capital it risks substantially relative to a specified market index. This implies constraints on autocorrelations and other lead-lag effects measured relative to the i...
متن کاملStaggered Price Contracts and Inflation Persistence: Some General Results
Despite their popularity as theoretical tools for illustrating the effects of nominal rigidities, some have questioned whether models based on Taylor-style staggered contracts can match the persistence of the empirical inflation process. This paper presents some general theoretical results about Taylor-style models. It is shown that these models do not have a problem matching high autocorrelati...
متن کاملPoint Process Convergence of Stochastic Volatility Processes with Application to Sample Autocorrelation
The paper considers one of the standard processes for modeling returns in finance, the stochastic volatility process with regularly varying innovations. The aim of the paper is to show how point process techniques can be used to derive the asymptotic behavior of the sample autocorrelation function of this process with heavy-tailed marginal distributions. Unlike other non-linear models used in f...
