We modify ETAS models by replacing the Pareto-like kernel proposed by Ogata with a Mittag-Leffler type kernel. Provided that the kernel decays as a power law with exponent $beta + 1 in (1,2]$, this replacement has the advantage that the Laplace transform of the Mittag-Leffler function is known explicitly, leading to simpler calculation of relevant quantities.

In this work, we study the event occurrences of user activities on online social network platforms. To characterize the social activity interactions among network users, we propose a network group Hawkes (NGH) process model. Particularly, the observed network structure information is employed to model the users dynamic posting behaviors. Furthermore, the users are clustered into latent groups according to their dynamic behavior patterns. To estimate the model, a constraint maximum likelihood approach is proposed. Theoretically, we establish the consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators. In addition, we show that the group memberships can be identified consistently. To conduct estimation, a branching representation structure is firstly introduced, and a stochastic EM (StEM) algorithm is developed to tackle the computational problem. Lastly, we apply the proposed method to a social network data collected from Sina Weibo, and identify the infuential network users as an interesting application.
To extend several known centered Gaussian processes, we introduce a new centered mixed self-similar Gaussian process called the mixed generalized fractional Brownian motion, which could serve as a good model for a larger class of natural phenomena. This process generalizes both the well known mixed fractional Brownian motion introduced by Cheridito [10] and the generalized fractional Brownian motion introduced by Zili [31]. We study its main stochastic properties, its non-Markovian and non-stationarity characteristics and the conditions under which it is not a semimartingale. We prove the long range dependence properties of this process.
In the last decade, Hawkes processes have received a lot of attention as good models for functional connectivity in neural spiking networks. In this paper we consider a variant of this process, the Age Dependent Hawkes process, which incorporates individual post-jump behaviour into the framework of the usual Hawkes model. This allows to model recovery properties such as refractory periods, where the effects of the network are momentarily being suppressed or altered. We show how classical stability results for Hawkes processes can be improved by introducing age into the system. In particular, we neither need to a priori bound the intensities nor to impose any conditions on the Lipschitz constants. When the interactions between neurons are of mean field type, we study large network limits and establish the propagation of chaos property of the system.
We build and study a data-driven procedure for the estimation of the stationary density f of an additive fractional SDE. To this end, we also prove some new concentrations bounds for discrete observations of such dynamics in stationary regime.
We test three common information criteria (IC) for selecting the order of a Hawkes process with an intensity kernel that can be expressed as a mixture of exponential terms. These processes find application in high-frequency financial data modelling. The information criteria are Akaikes information criterion (AIC), the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and the Hannan-Quinn criterion (HQ). Since we work with simulated data, we are able to measure the performance of model selection by the success rate of the IC in selecting the model that was used to generate the data. In particular, we are interested in the relation between correct model selection and underlying sample size. The analysis includes realistic sample sizes and parameter sets from recent literature where parameters were estimated using empirical financial intra-day data. We compare our results to theoretical predictions and similar empirical findings on the asymptotic distribution of model selection for consistent and inconsistent IC.
