We use generalized beta integrals to construct examples of Markov processes with linear regressions, and quadratic second conditional moments.
We study a time-non-homogeneous Markov process which arose from free probability, and which also appeared in the study of stochastic processes with linear regressions and quadratic conditional variances. Our main result is the explicit expression for the generator of the (non-homogeneous) transition operator acting on functions that extend analytically to complex domain. The paper is self-contained and does not use free probability techniques.
We introduce a family of matrices with non-commutative entries that generalize the classical real Wishart matrices. With the help of the Brauer product, we derive a non-asymptotic expression for the moments of traces of monomials in such matrices; the expression is quite similar to the formula derived in our previous work for independent complex Wishart matrices. We then analyze the fluctuations about the Marchenko-Pastur law. We show that after centering by the mean, traces of real symmetric polynomials in q-Wishart matrices converge in distribution, and we identify the asymptotic law as the normal law when q=1, and as the semicircle law when q=0.
We derive a non-asymptotic expression for the moments of traces of monomials in several independent complex Wishart matrices, extending some explicit formulas available in the literature. We then deduce the explicit expression for the cumulants. From the latter, we read out the multivariate normal approximation to the traces of finite families of polynomials in independent complex Wishart matrices.
In this paper we study empirical measures which can be thought as a decoupled version of the empirical measures generated by random matrices. We prove the large deviation principle with the rate function, which is finite only on product measures and hence is non-convex. As a corollary, we derive a large deviations principle for (univariate) average empirical measures with the rate function that superficially resembles the rate function of random matrices, but may be concave.
