Two chain-transformations and their applications to quantiles

From MaRDI portal





If \(M_\alpha(X)\) denotes the quantile associated with the occupation measure of a real valued stochastic process \(X= (X_s, 0\leq s\leq 1)\), the following identity (in distribution) has been proved in previous works (it is called Wendel-Port-Dassios identity by the authors): \[ M_\alpha(X)= \sup_{0\leq t\leq \alpha} X_t+ \inf_{0\leq t\leq 1-\alpha} (X_{t+ \alpha}- X_\alpha).\tag{1} \] The aim of the paper is to obtain this identity by path transformations. The authors describe two chain transformations, one of predictable kind, the other of an optional kind; these transformations are used to prove (1) for renewal reward processes and for chains with exchangeable increments, respectively. Continuous time results for Lévy processes are also obtained, using Meyer-Tanaka formula for local time. In the case of Lévy processes with no negative jumps, explicit formulae are also proved.
