Finite Time Ruin Probabilities and Martingales
In this paper we give an introduction to collective risk theory in its simplest form. Our aims are to indicate how some basic facts may be obtained by martingale methods and to point out some open problems
متن کاملUser-friendly Tail Bounds for Matrix Martingales
This report presents probability inequalities for sums of adapted sequences of random, self-adjoint matrices. The results frame simple, easily verifiable hypotheses on the summands, and they yield strong conclusions about the large-deviation behavior of the maximum eigenvalue of the sum. The methods also specialize to sums of independent random matrices. 1. Main Results This technical report is...
متن کاملBinomial upper bounds on generalized moments and tail probabilities of (super)martingales with differences bounded from above
Let (S0, S1, . . . ) be a supermartingale relative to a nondecreasing sequence of σ-algebras H≤0, H≤1, . . . , with S0 ≤ 0 almost surely (a.s.) and differences Xi := Si − Si−1. Suppose that Xi ≤ d and Var(Xi|H≤i−1) ≤ σ 2 i a.s. for every i = 1, 2, . . . , where d > 0 and σi > 0 are non-random constants. Let Tn := Z1 + · · · + Zn, where Z1, . . . , Zn are i.i.d. r.v.’s each taking on only two va...
متن کاملFluctuations of Martingales and Winning Probabilities of Game Contestants
Within a contest there is some probability Mi(t) that contestant i will be the winner, given information available at time t, and Mi(t) must be a martingale in t. Assume continuous paths, to capture the idea that relevant information is acquired slowly. Provided each contestant’s initial winning probability is at most b, one can easily calculate, without needing further model specification, the...
متن کاملTail Probabilities for Regression Estimators
Estimators of regression coefficients are known to be asymptotically normally distributed, provided certain regularity conditions are satisfied. In small samples and if the noise is not normally distributed, this can be a poor guide to the quality of the estimators. The paper addresses this problem for small and medium sized samples and heavy tailed noise. In particular, we assume that the nois...
