Operator geometric stable laws

چکیده
Operator geometric stable laws are the weak limits of operator normed and centered geometric random sums of independent, identically distributed random vectors. They generalize operator stable laws and geometric stable laws. In this work we characterize operator geometric stable distributions, their divisibility and domains of attraction, and present their application to finance. Operator geometric stable laws are useful for modeling financial portfolios where the cumulative price change vectors are sums of a random number of small random shocks with heavy tails, and each component has a different tail index. r 2003 Elsevier Inc.

The Operator Ν-stable Laws
Operator stable laws are the limits of operator normed and centered sums of independent, identically distributed random vectors. The operator ν-stable laws are the analogous limit distributions for randomized sums. In this paper we characterize operator ν-stable laws and their domains of attraction. We also discuss several applications, including the scaling limits of continuous time random wal...
متن کاملA bivariate infinitely divisible distribution with exponential and Mittag–Leffler marginals
We introduce a bivariate distribution supported on the first quadrant with exponential, and heavy tailed Mittag–Leffer, marginal distributions. Although this distribution belongs to the class of geometric operator stable laws, it is a rather special case that does not follow their general theory. Our results include the joint density and distribution function, Laplace transform, conditional dis...
متن کاملConvex and star-shaped sets associated with stable distributions
It is known that each symmetric stable distribution in Rd is related to a norm on Rd that makes Rd embeddable in Lp([0, 1]). In case of a multivariate Cauchy distribution the unit ball in this norm corresponds is the polar set to a convex set in Rd called a zonoid. This work exploits most recent advances in convex geometry in order to come up with new probabilistic results for multivariate stab...
متن کاملConvex and star-shaped sets associated with multivariate stable distributions, I: Moments and densities
It is known that each symmetric stable distribution in Rd is related to a norm on Rd that makes Rd embeddable in Lp([0, 1]). In case of a multivariate Cauchy distribution the unit ball in this norm is the polar set to a convex set in Rd called a zonoid. This work interprets general stable laws using convex or star-shaped sets and exploits recent advances in convex geometry in order to come up w...
متن کاملImproved logarithmic-geometric mean inequality and its application
In this short note, we present a refinement of the logarithmic-geometric mean inequality. As an application of our result, we obtain an operator inequality associated with geometric and logarithmic means.
