An extension of a logarithmic form of Cramer's ruin theorem to some FARIMA and related processes

Ph. Barbe, W. P. McCormick

Cramer's theorem provides an estimate for the tail probability of the maximum of a random walk with negative drift and increments having a moment generating function finite in a ne…

Veraverbeke's theorem at large - On the maximum of some processes with negative drift and heavy tail innovations

Philippe Barbe, Bill McCormick

Veraverbeke's (1977) theorem relates the tail of the distribution of the supremum of a random walk with negative drift to the tail of the distribution of its increments, or equival…

Asymptotic expansions for distributions of compound sums of light subexponential random variables

Ph . Barbe, W. P. McCormick, C. Zhang

We derive an asymptotic expansion for the distribution of a compound sum of independent random variables, all having the same light-tailed subexponential distribution. The examples…

Tail expansions for the distribution of the maximum of a random walk with negative drift and regularly varying increments

Ph . Barbe, W. P. McCormick, C. Zhang

Let F be a distribution function with negative mean and regularly varying right tail. Under a mild smoothness condition we derive higher order asymptotic expansions for the tail di…

Asympyotic expansions for infinite weighted convolutions of light subexponential distributions

Ph. Barbe, W. P. McCormick

We establish some asymptotic expansions for infinite weighted convolutions of distributions having light subexponential tails. Examples are presented, some showing that in order to…

Asymptotic expansions for infinite weighted convolutions of heavy tail distributions and applications

Ph. Barbe, W. P. McCormick

We establish some asymptotic expansions for infinite weighted convolution of distributions having regular varying tails. Various applications to statistics and probability are deve…
