Asymptotic behavior of the record values in a stationary Gaussian sequence, with applications.

In this paper, we study the limit distributions of upper and lower record values of a stationary Gaussian sequence under an equi-correlated set up. Moreover, the class of limit distribution functions (df's) of the joint upper (and the lower) record values of a stationary Gaussian sequence is fully characterized. As an application of this result, the sufficient conditions for the weak convergence of the record quasi-range, record quasi-mid-range, record extremal quasi-quotient and record extremal quasi-product are obtained. Moreover, the classes of the non-degenerate limit df's of these statistics are derived. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
