TITLE:On a Diffusion Process that Arises in Quickest Change-Point Detection


Abstract

We consider the diffusion (Rt)t0 generated by the stochastic differential equation dRt=dt+μRtdBt with R0=0, where μ0 is given and (Bt)t0 is standard Brownian motion. We obtain a closed-from expression for the quasi-stationary distribution of (Rt)t0, i.e., the limit QA(x)=lim, x\in[0,A], where T_A=\inf\{t>0:R_t=A\} with A>0 fixed. The process (R_t)_{t\ge0}, its quasi-stationary distribution Q_A(x), x\in[0,A], and the stopping time T_A are of importance in the theory of quickest change-point detection, especially the case when A is large. We study the asymptotic behavior of Q_A(x) for large A's, and provide an order-three asymptotic approximation.
