A Martingale Proof of Dobrushin’s Theorem for Non-Homogeneous Markov Chains
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1956, Dobrushin proved an important central limit theorem for nonhomogeneous Markov chains. In this note, a shorter and different proof elucidating more the assumptions is given through martingale approximation.

Occupancy distributions in Markov chains via Doeblin's ergodicity coefficient
We state and prove new properties about Doeblin’s ergodicity coefficient for finite Markov chains. We show that this coefficient satisfies a sub-multiplicative type inequality (analogous to the Markov-Dobrushin’s ergodicity coefficient), and provide a novel but elementary proof of Doeblin’s characterization of weak-ergodicity for non-homogeneous chains. Using Doeblin’s coefficient, we illustrat...

We present a proof of a martingale central limit theorem (Theorem 2) due to McLeish (1974). Then, an application to Markov chains is given.
متن کاملA SHORT PROOF FOR THE EXISTENCE OF HAAR MEASURE ON COMMUTATIVE HYPERGROUPS

متن کاملA New Algorithm for Performance Evaluation of Homogeneous Architectural Styles
Software architecture is considered one of the most important indices of software engineering today. Software Architecture is a technical description of a system indicating its component structures and their relationships, and is the principles and rules governing designing. The success of the software depends on whether the system can satisfy the quality attributes. One of the most critical as...
متن کاملMartingales Associated to Peacocks Using the Curtain Coupling
We consider right-continuous peacocks, that is families of real probability measures (μt)t that increase in the convex order. Given a sequence of time partitions we associate the sequence of martingales that are Markovian, constant on the partition intervals [tk, tk+1[, and designed in a way that the transition kernels at times tk+1 are the curtain couplings of marginals μtk and μtk+1 . We stud...
