We consider stationary processes with long memory which are non-Gaussian and represented as Hermite polynomials of a Gaussian process. We focus on the corresponding wavelet coefficients and study the asymptotic behavior of the sum of their squares since this sum is often used for estimating the long-memory parameter. We show that the limit is not Gaussian but can be expressed using the non-Gaussian Rosenblatt process defined as a Wiener It^o integral of order 2. This happens even if the original process is defined through a Hermite polynomial of order higher than 2.

We consider the nonparametric functional estimation of the drift of a Gaussian process via minimax and Bayes estimators. In this context, we construct superefficient estimators of Stein type for such drifts using the Malliavin integration by parts formula and superharmonic functionals on Gaussian space. Our results are illustrated by numerical simulations and extend the construction of James--Stein type estimators for Gaussian processes by Berger and Wolpert [J. Multivariate Anal. 13 (1983) 401--424].
Discrete time trawl processes constitute a large class of time series parameterized by a trawl sequence (a j) j$in$N and defined though a sequence of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) copies of a continuous time process ($gamma$(t)) t$in$R called the seed process. They provide a general framework for modeling linear or non-linear long range dependent time series. We investigate the spectral estimation, either pointwise or broadband, of long range dependent discrete-time trawl processes. The difficulty arising from the variety of seed processes and of trawl sequences is twofold. First, the spectral density may take different forms, often including smooth additive correction terms. Second, trawl processes with similar spectral densities may exhibit very different statistical behaviors. We prove the consistency of our estimators under very general conditions and we show that a wide class of trawl processes satisfy them. This is done in particular by introducing a weighted weak dependence index that can be of independent interest. The broadband spectral estimator includes an estimator of the long memory parameter. We complete this work with numerical experiments to evaluate the finite sample size performance of this estimator for various integer valued discrete time trawl processes.
In this paper, we address the estimation of the sensitivity indices called Shapley eects. These sensitivity indices enable to handle dependent input variables. The Shapley eects are generally dicult to estimate, but they are easily computable in the Gaussian linear framework. The aim of this work is to use the values of the Shapley eects in an approximated Gaussian linear framework as estimators of the true Shapley eects corresponding to a non-linear model. First, we assume that the input variables are Gaussian with small variances. We provide rates of convergence of the estimated Shapley eects to the true Shapley eects. Then, we focus on the case where the inputs are given by an non-Gaussian empirical mean. We prove that, under some mild assumptions, when the number of terms in the empirical mean increases, the dierence between the true Shapley eects and the estimated Shapley eects given by the Gaussian linear approximation converges to 0. Our theoretical results are supported by numerical studies, showing that the Gaussian linear approximation is accurate and enables to decrease the computational time signicantly.
In this paper, we consider an inference problem for the first order autoregressive process driven by a long memory stationary Gaussian process. Suppose that the covariance function of the noise can be expressed as $abs{k}^{2H-2}$ times a function slowly varying at infinity. The fractional Gaussian noise and the fractional ARIMA model and some others Gaussian noise are special examples that satisfy this assumption. We propose a second moment estimator and prove the strong consistency and give the asymptotic distribution. Moreover, when the limit distribution is Gaussian, we give the upper Berry-Esseen bound by means of Fourth moment theorem.
We provide the strong approximation of empirical copula processes by a Gaussian process. In addition we establish a strong approximation of the smoothed empirical copula processes and a law of iterated logarithm.
