We define induced selection differential and discuss asymptotic distribution theory for this quantity. We also obtain the asymptotic joint distribution of the selection differential and the induced selection differential. These are used as measures of improvement in genetic selection programs. We consider the linear regression model set up in detail to obtain various possible limit laws for the induced selection differential.

We investigate the probabilistic evolution of a near-critical bisexual branching process with mating depending on the number of couples in the population. We determine sufficient conditions which guarantee either the almost sure extinction of such a process or its survival with positive probability. We also establish some limiting results concerning the sequences of couples, females, and males, suitably normalized. In particular, gamma, normal, and degenerate distributions are proved to be limit laws. The results also hold for bisexual Bienaymé–Galton–Watson processes, and can be adapted to other classes of near-critical bisexual branching processes.

AbstractWe show that certain billiard flows on planar billiard tables with horns can be modeled as suspension flows over Young towers (Ann. Math. 147:585–650, 1998) with exponential tails. This implies exponential decay of correlations for the billiard map. Because the height function of the suspension flow itself is polynomial when the horns are Torricelli-like trumpets, one can derive Limit Laws for the billiard flow, including Stable Limits if the parameter of the Torricelli trumpet is chosen in (1, 2).

Abstract We prove a second-order limit law for additive functionals of a d-dimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index H = 1 / d, using the method of moments and extending the Kallianpur–Robbins law, and then give a functional version of this result. That is, we generalize it to the convergence of the finite-dimensional distributions for corresponding stochastic processes.

Return distributions in the class of pure jump limit laws are observed to reflect numerous asymmetries between the upward and downward motions of asset prices. The return distributions are modeled by self-decomposable parametric laws with all parameters continuously responding to each other. Fixed points of the response functions define equilibrium distributions. The equilibrium distributions that can arise in practice are constrained by the level of return acceptability they may attain. As a consequence, expected returns are equated to risk measured by the cost of purchasing the negative of the centered return. The asymmetries studied include differences in scale, speed, power variation, excitation and cross-excitation.
