On a new family of weighted Gaussian processes: an application to bat telemetry data

Abstract: In this article we use a covariance function that arises from limit of fluctuations of the rescaled occupation time process of a branching particle system, to introduce a family of weighted long-range dependence Gaussian processes. In particular, we consider two subfamilies for which we show that the process is not a semimartingale, that the processes exhibit long-range dependence and have long-range memory of logarithmic order. Finally, we illustrate that this family of processes is useful for modeling real world data.
