Optimal Stopping Under General Dependence Conditions Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • AbstractLet {Xn} be a sequence of random variables, not necessarily independent or identically distributed, put and Mn =max0kn|Sk|. Effective bounds on in terms of assumed bounds on , are used to identify conditions under which an extended-valued stopping time exists. That is these inequalities are used to guarantee the existence of the stopping time such that E(ST/a) = supt T E(|S|/at), where T denotes the class of randomized extended-valued stopping times based on S1, S2, and {an} is a sequence of constants. Specific applications to stochastic processes of the time series type are considered.
