The limit ratio of two Markov Chain Probability
Suppose there are two given SDE in $\mathbb{R}^d$:
$$
\begin{align}
\left\{
\begin{aligned}
dX_t&=\begin{bmatrix}-\nabla V(X_t)+2\beta^{-1}v_F^\theta(X_t)\end{bmatrix}dt+\sqrt{2\beta^{-1}}dW_t,&...

Relation between regularities of the trajectory of a mean zero gaussian process and its covariance operator
Let $\xi_t$ be a zero-mean gaussian process on $[0,1]$ with covariance operator $C$.
I would like to better understand the relation between the covariance operator and the regularity of the ...

The integral of a Gaussian process on a unit sphere
Suppose there exist a zero-mean Gaussian process $\mathbb{G} f_u$ indexed by $u \in \mathcal{S}^{p - 1}$ with known covariance $\mathrm{E} \big[ \mathbb{G} f_u \mathbb{G} f_v \big]$ when both $u$ and $...

Kalman filter distribution of observation process
Let $(X_t,Y_t)$ be a pair of stochastic processes such that
$$
\begin{aligned}
dX_t =& A_t X_t dt + C_t dW_t,\\
dY_t = & H_t X_t dt + K_tdB_t
\end{aligned}
$$
for some non-random matrix-valued ...

About a class of expectations
Consider being given a $n-$dimensional random vector with a distribution ${\cal D}$, vectors $a \in \mathbb{R}^k$, $\{ b_i \in \mathbb{R}^n \}_{i=1}^k$ and non-linear Lipschitz functions, $f_1,f_2 : \...

Expectation involving maximum of Gaussian variables
Let $X\sim N(0, I_d)$ be a $d$-dimensional Gaussian random vector. Let $W_1, \ldots, W_k \in \mathbb{R}^d$ be $k$ fixed vectors in general positions. It is clear that $w_i^\top X, \ldots, w_k^\top X$ ...

Multivariate Zero-Bias Transform
The zero-bias transform for a univariate random variable $W$ is defined as a random variable $W^*$ satisfying
\begin{align}
\mathbb{E} [ W \cdot f(W )] = \mathbb{E} [ f' (W^*)]
\end{align}
for any ...

Weak convergence of sum of log normal random variables
Let $S_t$ be the Geometric Brownian Motion, we know that
$$dS_t=rS_tdt+\sigma S_tdW_t, t\in [0,T], S_0>0, r>0,\sigma>0$$
and the distribution of $S_t$ is known explicitly. Please see the ...

Recursive parameter estimation for partially observed Ito SDEs
I'm trying to get my head around online (recursive) maximum-likelihood parameter estimation in the language of stochastic processes and in the context of stochastic filtering, i.e. where we have a ...

Expected value with a kronecker product and Gaussian distributional assumption
What is the expected value, $ \mathbb{E}\left[ I \otimes \left( \operatorname{diag}(ZZ^T\mathbf{1}) - ZZ^T\right)\right]$ where $Z \sim N(0, \sigma^2I) $? The kronecker product is where the confusion ...

Inflated independent samples for Monte Carlo estimation
In my particular problem, running an MCMC is too expensive, so I'm looking for a simple MC estimator, which would partially inherit the correlated samples of MCMC, yet would not require computing ...

Approximation of the law of a stochastic process
Hello Dear fellows,
I thank you in advance for your help and ideas.
I have just read an article and want you to help me understand the rational behind a part of it.
We have two processes $v_t$ and $...

how to sample a conditioned diffusion
there are several reasons why we could be interested in sampling conditioned diffusions:
if we observed a diffusion at discrete time and want to do some kind of inference on the parameters of the ...
