To this end, a point process is constructed and its relation to the distribution of the location of the path supremum is studied. Using this framework, we show that the distribution has a spectral-type representation, in the sense that it is always a mixture of a special group of absolutely continuous distributions, plus point masses on the two boundaries. Bounds on the value and the derivatives of the density function are established. We further discuss self-similar L\\'{e}vy processes as an example. Most of the results in this paper can be generalized to a group of random locations, including the location of the largest jump, etc.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-04-15T21:13:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G18", "60G55", "60G10" ], "keywords": [ "path supremum", "self-similar processes", "stationary increments", "distribution", "plus point masses" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160404645S" } } }
