Asymptotic analysis for bifurcating autoregressive processes via a martingale approach

We study the asymptotic behavior of the least squares estimators of the unknown parameters of bifurcating autoregressive processes. Under very weak assumptions on the driven noise of the process, namely conditional pair-wise independence and suitable moment conditions, we establish the almost sure convergence of our estimators together with the quadratic strong law and the central limit theorem. All our analysis relies on non-standard asymptotic results for martingales.

Tail of a linear diffusion with Markov switching

Let Y be an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck diffusion governed by a stationary and ergodic Markov jump process X: dY_t=a(X_t)Y_t dt+σ(X_t) dW_t, Y_0=y_0. Ergodicity conditions for Y have been obtained. Here we investigate the tail propriety of the stationary distribution of this model. A characterization of either heavy or light tail case is established. The method is based on a renewal theorem for systems of equations with distributions on R.
