For given positive constants $u,T$, define the set of $r$th conjunctions $ C_{r,T,u}:= \\{t\\in [0,T]: X_{r:n}(t) > u\\}$ with $X_{r:n}(t)$ the $r$th largest order statistics of $X_1(t), \\ldots , X_n(t), t\\ge 0$. In numerous applications such as brain mapping and digital communication systems, of interest is the approximation of the probability that the set of conjunctions $C_{r,T,u}$ is not empty. Imposing the Albin's conditions on $X$, in this paper we obtain an exact asymptotic expansion of this probability as $u$ tends to infinity. Further, we establish the tail asymptotics of the supremum of a generalized skew-Gaussian process and a Gumbel limit theorem for the minimum order statistics of stationary Gaussian processes. As a by-product we derive a version of Li and Shao's normal comparison lemma for the minimum and the maximum of Gaussian random vectors.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-08-06T16:25:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stationary processes", "shaos normal comparison lemma", "th largest order statistics", "exact asymptotic expansion", "stationary gaussian processes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1403.7354D" } } }
