Slepian noise approach for Gaussian and Laplace moving average processes
Journal article, 2015

Slepian models are derived for a stochastic process observed at level crossings of a moving average driven by a gaussian or Laplace noise. In particular, a Slepian model for the noise – the Slepian noise – is developed. For Laplace moving average process a method of sampling from the Slepian noise is also obtained by a Gibbs sampler. This facilitates comparison of behavior at crossing of a level between a gaussian process and a non-gaussian one and allows to study a random processes sampled at crossings of a non-gaussian moving average process. In a numerical study based on the method it is observed that the behavior of a non-gaussian moving average process at high level crossings is fundamentally different from that for the gaussian case, which is in line with some recent theoretical results on the subject.
