  • On Brownian Motion Approximation of Compound Poisson Processes with Applications to Threshold Models
    ON BROWNIAN MOTION APPROXIMATION OF COMPOUND POISSON PROCESSES WITH APPLICATIONS TO THRESHOLD MODELS Dong Li, Shiqing Ling, Howell Tong and Guangren Yang Tsinghua University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and London School of Economics and Political Science, and Jinan University Compound Poisson processes (CPP) constitute a fundamental class of stochastic process- es and a basic building block for more complex jump-diffusion processes such as the L´evy processes. However, unlike those of a Brownian motion (BM), distributions of functionals, e.g. maxima, passage time, argmin and others, of a CPP are often intractable. The first ob- jective of this paper is to propose a new approximation of a CPP by a BM so as to facilitate closed-form expressions in concrete cases. Specifically, we approximate, in some sense, a se- quence of two-sided CPPs by a two-sided BM with drift. The second objective is to illustrate the above approximation in applications, such as the construction of confidence intervals of threshold parameters in threshold models, which include the threshold regression (also called two-phase regression or segmentation) and numerous threshold time series models. We con- duct numerical simulations to assess the performance of the proposed approximation. We illustrate the use of our approach with a real data set. 1. Introduction. In many statistical problems, especially those associated with change points, we often have to derive the distributions of functionals

  • Fencing - Overview Fencing Is a Game in Which Is Played Between Two Fencers
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Fencing - Overview Fencing is a game in which is played between two fencers. Both the fencers use swords to attack the opponent and to defend self. There are some rules and regulations which the players have to follow while attacking or defending. Three different groups of weapons are used in fencing and each weapon has its own set of rules and regulations. Most of the fencers select one so as to specialise in using any one of these weapons. This is a sword exerting game where two fencers try to touch each other with the tip of their sword. The main objective of this game is to touch the other player and score enough points required to win the game before the opposite player scores points. There are different approved target zones based on the weapon used and players have to touch those target zones to score points. A Brief History of Fencing Fencing was initiated in the 12th century though the oldest surviving manual on swordsmanship dates around 1300. In ancient days in Rome and Egypt, fencing was quite popular and was an essential part of life in the form of swordsmanship. In the middle age, i.e. around 1400, the use of armours was introduced in order to make the game more defensive and interesting. THANKS FOR READING – VISIT OUR WEBSITE www.educatererindia.com COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Spain was the first one to practice fencing.
