Crossing Probabilities

A natural requirement to impose upon the life distribution of a component is that after inspection at some randomly chosen time to check whether it is still functioning, its life distribution from the time of checking should be bounded below by some specified distribution which may be defined by external considerations. Furthermore, the life distribution should ideally be minimal in the partial ordering obtained from the conditional probabilities. We prove that these specifications provide an apparently new characterization of the DFRA class of life distributions with a corresponding result for IFRA distributions. These results may be transferred, using Slepian's lemma, to obtain bounds for the boundary crossing probabilities of a stationary Gaussian process.

Absorption Probabilities

Let {W(t), 0≦t&lt;∞} be the standard Wiener process. The computation schemes developed in the past are not computationally efficient for the absorption probabilities of the type P{sup0≦t≦T W(t) − f(t) ≧ 0} when either T is large or f(0) &gt; 0 is small. This paper gives an efficient and accurate algorithm to compute such probabilities, and some applications to other Gaussian stochastic processes are discussed.

Let {W(t), 0 ≦ t < ∞} be the standard Wiener process. The probabilities of the type P[sup0≦t ≦ TW(t) − f(t) ≧ 0] have been extensively studied when f(t) is a deterministic function. This paper discusses the probabilities of the type P{sup0≦t ≦ TW(t) − [f(t) + X(t)] ≧ 0} when X(t) is a stochastic process. By taking compound Poisson processes as X(t), the paper gives procedures for finding such probabilities.

Continuous Gaussian Process

We prove that, under rather general conditions, the law of a continuous Gaussian process represented by a stochastic integral of a deterministic kernel, with respect to a standard Wiener process, can be weakly approximated by the law of some processes constructed from a standard Poisson process. An example of a Gaussian process to which this result applies is the fractional Brownian motion with any Hurst parameter.

Partial Sum Process

Let Xt be a linear process defined by Xt = [sum ]k=0∞ ψkεt−k, where {ψk, k ≥ 0} is a sequence of real numbers and {εk, k = 0,±1,±2,...} is a sequence of random variables. Two basic results, on the invariance principle of the partial sum process of the Xt converging to a standard Wiener process on [0,1], are presented in this paper. In the first result, we assume that the innovations εk are independent and identically distributed random variables but do not restrict [sum ]k=0∞ |ψk| < ∞. We note that, for the partial sum process of the Xt converging to a standard Wiener process, the condition [sum ]k=0∞ |ψk| < ∞ or stronger conditions are commonly used in previous research. The second result is for the situation where the innovations εk form a martingale difference sequence. For this result, the commonly used assumption of equal variance of the innovations εk is weakened. We apply these general results to unit root testing. It turns out that the limit distributions of the Dickey–Fuller test statistic and Kwiatkowski, Phillips, Schmidt, and Shin (KPSS) test statistic still hold for the more general models under very weak conditions.
