New statistical kernels analyzed for Markov chains

Researchers have developed new theoretical tools to analyze the statistical properties of sliding-window count kernels derived from stationary Markov chains. The study establishes spectral-gap bounds and Poincaré inequalities for these kernels, demonstrating that the spectral gap scales inversely with the window length ($n$). This work has implications for understanding variance bounds in finite-window count statistics and operator-norm concentration for empirical averages. AI

    Conditionally Resampled Sliding-Window Count Kernels: Spectral-Gap Bounds and Poincar\'e Inequalities

    arXiv:2608.08678v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the conditionally resampled sliding-window count kernel associated with the empirical counts of length-$n$ windows from a stationary finite-state reversible Markov chain. Although the resulting count process is generally …
