On randomly spaced observations and continuous time random walks
We consider random variables observed at arrival times of a renewal process, which possibly depends on those observations and has regularly varying steps with infinite mean. Due to the dependence and heavy tailed steps, the limiting behavior of extreme observations until a given time $t$ tends to be rather involved. We describe this asymptotics and generalize several partial results which appeared in this setting. In contrast to the earlier studies, our analysis is based in the point processes theory. The theory is applied to determine the asymptotic distribution of maximal excursions and sojourn times for continuous time random walks.
