Covariances of Zero Crossings in Gaussian Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
For a zero-mean Gaussian process, the covariances of zero crossings can be expressed as the sum of quadrivariate normal orthant probabilities. In this paper, we demonstrate the evaluation of zero crossing covariances using one-dimensional integrals. Furthermore, we provide asymptotics of zero crossing covariances for large time lags and derive bounds and approximations. Based on these results, we analyze the variance of the empirical zero crossing rate. We illustrate the applications of our results by autoregressive (AR), fractional Gaussian noise and fractionally integrated autoregressive moving average (FARIMA) processes.

Estimation of Fractal Index and Fractal Dimension of a Gaussian Process by Counting the Number of Level Crossings
The fractal index (Y and fractal dimension D of a Gaussian process are characteristics that describe the smoothness of the process. In principle, smoother processes have fewer crossings of a given level, and so level crossings might be employed to estimate (Y or D. However, the number of crossings of a level by a non-differentiable Gaussian process is either zero or infinity, with probability o...
متن کاملComplete convergence of moving-average processes under negative dependence sub-Gaussian assumptions
The complete convergence is investigated for moving-average processes of doubly infinite sequence of negative dependence sub-gaussian random variables with zero means, finite variances and absolutely summable coefficients. As a corollary, the rate of complete convergence is obtained under some suitable conditions on the coefficients.
متن کاملWavelet Scale Analysis of Bivariate Time Series II: Statistical Properties for Linear Processes
Scaling characteristics of stochastic processes can be examined using wavelet cross-covariances. For jointly stationary but generally non-Gaussian linear processes, the asymptotic properties of the resulting wavelet cross-covariance estimator are derived. The linear processes are assumed to have only a square-summable weight sequence, so that the class of processes includes long-memory processe...
متن کاملGaussian Measures in Function Space
Two Gaussian measures are either mutually singular or equivalent. This dichotomy was first discovered by Feldman and Hajek (independently). We give a simple, almost formal, proof of this result, based on the study of a certain pair of functionals of the two measures. In addition we show that two Gaussian measures with zero means and smooth Polya-type covariances (on an interval) are equivalent ...
