Cluster Random Fields and Random-Shift Representations
share
This paper investigates random-shift representations of α-homogeneous shift-invariant classes of random fields (rf's) K_α[ Z], which were introduced in <cit.>. Here Z(t),t∈ T is a stochastically continuous ℝ^d-valued rf with T=ℝ^l or T=ℤ^l. We show that that random-shift representations of interest are obtained by constructing cluster rf's, which play a crucial role in the study of extremes of stationary regularly varying rf's. An important implication of those representations is their close relationship with Rosiński (or mixed moving maxima) representations of max-stable rf's. We show that for a given K_α[ Z] different cluster rf's can be constructed, which is useful for the derivation of new representations of extremal functional indices, Rosiński representations of max-stable rf's as well as for random-shift representations of shift-invariant tail measures.
