In Memoriam Paul-André Meyer - Séminaire de Probabilités XXXIX
The 39th volume of Séminaire de Probabilités is a tribute to the memory of Paul André Meyer. His life and achievements are recalled in this book, and tributes are paid by his friends and colleagues. This volume also contains mathematical contributions to classical and quantum stochastic calculus, the theory of processes, martingales and their applications to mathematical finance and Brownian motion. These contributions provide an overview on the current trends of stochastic calculus.
Fluctuation Theory for Lévy Processes : Ecole d'Eté de Probabilités de Saint-Flour XXXV - 2005
Lévy processes, i.e. processes in continuous time with stationary and independent increments, are named after Paul Lévy, who made the connection with infinitely divisible distributions and described their structure. They form a flexible class of models, which have been applied to the study of storage processes, insurance risk, queues, turbulence, laser cooling, ... and of course finance, where the feature that they include examples having "heavy tails" is particularly important. Their sample path behaviour poses a variety of difficult and fascinating problems
Differential Equations Driven by Rough Paths : Ecole d’Eté de Probabilités de Saint-Flour XXXIV-2004
The goal of these notes is to provide a straightforward and self supporting but minimalist account of the key results forming the foundation of the theory of rough paths.
Concentration inequalities and model selection ; Ecole d'Eté de Probabilités de Saint-Flour XXXIII - 2003
An overview of a non-asymptotic theory for model selection is given here and some selected applications to variable selection, change points detection and statistical learning are discussed. This volume reflects the content of the course given by P. Massart in St. Flour in 2003.
Combinatorial Stochastic Processes : Ecole d'Eté de Probabilités de Saint-Flour XXXII - 2002
This volume contains the course “Combinatorial stochastic processes” of Professor Pitman. We cordially thank the author for his performance in Saint-Flour and for these notesThere is particular focus on the theory of random combinatorial structures such as partitions, permutations, trees, forests, and mappings, and connections between the asymptotic theory of enumeration of such structures and the theory of stochastic processes like Brownian motion and Poisson processes.
Maîtriser laléatoire : Exercices résolus de probabilités et statistique = Mastering Randomness : Solved Exercises in Probability and Statistics
Consists of 245 solved exercises that cover all the basic concepts of probability and statistics. The work is structured in nine chapters, each containing a brief introduction, bibliographic references to more specialized works, as well as a series of exercises and their detailed solutions. Ranked in increasing order of difficulty, these will allow the reader to appreciate the extent of his progress. This book can be used as a supplement to any theory manual on statistics and probability. Due to the great diversity of the examples offered, it will suit a diverse readership: students of economics, psychology, social sciences, mathematics, physics, chemistry, medicine or biology.
Lectures on Probability Theory and Statistics : Ecole d'Eté de Probabilités de Saint-Flour XXXIII - 2003
Contains two of the three lectures that were given at the 33rd Probability Summer School in Saint-Flour (July 6-23, 2003). Amir Dembo’s course is devoted to recent studies of the fractal nature of random sets, focusing on some fine properties of the sample path of random walk and Brownian motion. In particular, the cover time for Markov chains, the dimension of discrete limsup random fractals, the multi-scale truncated second moment and the Ciesielski-Taylor identities are explored. Tadahisa Funaki’s course reviews recent developments of the mathematical theory on stochastic interface models, mostly on the so-called nabla varphi interface model. The results are formulated as classical limit theorems in probability theory, and the text serves with good applications of basic probability techniques.
