Affine Jump-Diffusions: Stochastic Stability and Limit Theorems

Affine jump-diffusions constitute a large class of continuous-time stochastic models that are particularly popular in finance and economics due to their analytical tractability. …

Affine Point Processes: Approximation and Efficient Simulation

We establish a central limit theorem and a large deviations principle for affine point processes, which are stochastic models of correlated event timing widely used in finance and …

A Regenerative Bootstrap Approach to Estimating the Initial Transient

We propose a new algorithm for identifying the duration of the initial transient for a regenerative stochastic process. The algorithm involves re-sampling of the simulated cycles, …

On the Dynamics of a Finite Buffer Queue Conditioned on the Amount of Loss

This paper is concerned with computing large deviations asymptotics for the loss process in a stylized queueing model that is fed by a Brownian input process. In addition, the …

Rare Event Simulation for a Generalized Hawkes Process

In this paper we study rare event simulation for the tail probability of an affine point process that generalizes the Hawkes process. By constructing a suitable exponential …

Efficient Suboptimal Rare-event Simulation

Much of the rare-event simulation literature is concerned with the development of asymptotically optimal algorithms. Because of the difficulties associated with applying these …
