摘要:The concept of a Lévy subordinator is generalized to a family of nondecreasingstochastic processes, which are parameterized in terms of two Bernsteinfunctions. Whereas the independent increments property is only maintained in theLévy subordinator special case, the considered family is always strongly infinitelydivisible with respect to time, meaning that a path can be represented in distributionas a finite sum with arbitrarily many summands of independent and identicallydistributed paths of another process. Besides distributional properties of the process,we present two applications to the design of accurate and efficient simulationalgorithms. First, each member of the considered family corresponds uniquely toan exchangeable max-stable sequence of random variables, and we demonstratehow the associated extreme-value copula can be simulated exactly and efficientlyfrom its Pickands dependence measure. Second, we show how one obtains differentseries and integral representations for infinitely divisible probability laws byvarying the parameterizing pair of Bernstein functions, without changing the lawof one-dimensional margins of the process. As a particular example, we present anexact simulation algorithm for compound Poisson distributions from the Bondessonclass, for which the generalized inverse of the distribution function of the associatedStieltjes measure can be evaluated accurately.
