25. When considering the (different) problem of zero-level crossings in long-term correlated data with Gaussian noise, it has been proven by G. F. Newell and M. Rosenblatt in Ann. Math. Statist. 33, 1306 (1962) that the probability of having no zero-level crossing after t time steps is bounded from above by a stretched exponential.
