Distribution of the supremum location of stationary processes
Yi Shen (Cornell University)
Abstract
The location of the unique supremum of a stationary process on an interval does not need to be uniformly distributed over that interval. We describe all possible distributions of the supremum location for a broad class of such stationary processes. We show that, in the strongly mixing case, this distribution does tend to the uniform in a certain sense as the length of the interval increases to infinity.
