Tóm tắt

We investigate properties of square-Gaussian stochastic processes. These processes are formed by quadratic forms of Gaussian processes or by limits in the mean square of quadratic forms of Gaussian processes. Special classes of these processes are determined and investigated. For processes from these classes estimates of large deviation probability are obtained. These estimates we use to estimate the probability that Gaussian vector-valued process leave some region on some interval of time. We construct asymptotic confidence regions for estimates of covariance functions of vector-valued Gaussian processes. Criterion of hypothesis testing on covariance functions of these processes is constructed.
