- Theme: Point process convergence of random walks
Abstract
In this talk, we study point process convergence for sequences of random walks. First, we focus on point process convergence for sequences of i.i.d. random walks, with the objective of deriving asymptotic theory for the extremes of these random walks. We show convergence of the maximum random walk to the Gumbel or the Fréchet distributions. In particular, we show convergence of the maximum random walk to the Gumbel distribution under the existence of a (2 + ?)th moment. Then, we derive the joint convergence of the off-diagonal entries in sample covariance and correlation matrices of a high-dimensional sample whose dimension increases with the sample size.
