Welcome to OpenBU
The Boston University Institutional Repository contains documents and publications authored or co-authored by BU faculty, students, and staff.
OpenBU is an open access repository, which means that the full text of the work deposited here is freely accessible to the world via the web. Access is restricted only in unavoidable instances, for example where publisher copyright restrictions prevail. However over 90% of scholarly publishers worldwide now allow some version of the documents they publish to be made available in a repository such as this.

The multifaceted behavior of integrated supOU processes: the infinite variance case
The so-called "supOU" processes, namely the superpositions of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type processes are stationary processes for which one can specify separately the marginal distribution and the dependence structure. They can ... -
Hermite rank, power rank and the generalized Weierstrass transform
(2016-10-03)Using the theory of generalized Weierstrass transform, we show that the Hermite rank is identical to the power rank in the Gaussian case, and that an Hermite rank higher than one is unstable with respect to a level shift. -
Four moments theorems on Markov chains
We obtain quantitative Four Moments Theorems establishing convergence of the laws of elements of a Markov chaos to a Pearson distribution, where the only assumptionwemake on the Pearson distribution is that it admits four ... -
How the instability of ranks under long memory affects large-sample inference
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2018)Under long memory, the limit theorems for normalized sums of random variables typically involve a positive integer called "Hermite rank". There is a different limit for each Hermite rank. From a statistical point of view, ... -
