On the Long-range Dependence of Fractional Poisson and Negative Binomial Processes (1601.05177v1)

Abstract: We study the long-range dependence (LRD) of the increments of the fractional Poisson process (FPP), the fractional negative binomial process (FNBP) and the increments of the FNBP. We first point out an error in the proof of Theorem 1 of Biard and Saussereau (2014) and prove that the increments of the FPP has indeed the short-range dependence (SRD) property, when the fractional index $\beta$ satisfies $0<\beta<\frac{1}{3}$. We also establish that the FNBP has the LRD property, while the increments of the FNBP possesses the SRD property.
