TITLE: The effect of memory on moving average processes: functional large deviations, long strange segments and ruin probabilities.

Abstract


The large deviations of an infinite moving average process with exponentially light tails are very similar to those of an i.i.d. sequence as long as the coefficients decay fast enough. If they do not, the large deviations change dramatically. We study this phenomenon in the context of functional large, moderate and huge deviation principles. We also look at some application of it in terms of long strange segments and ruin probability.
