Normal Stress Distribution of Rough Surfaces in Contact

open access: yes, 2000
We study numerically the stress distribution on the interface between two thick elastic media bounded by interfaces that include spatially correlated asperities.

Using National Survey Data to Estimate Healthcare Communication Disparities for Adults With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

open access: yesJournal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Previous studies have identified considerable health outcome disparities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) as well as poor or ineffective communication between adults with IDD and their medical providers.

Fractal Heterogeneous Media

open access: yes, 2009
A method is proposed for generating compact fractal disordered media, by generalizing the random midpoint displacement algorithm. The obtained structures are invasive stochastic fractals, with the Hurst exponent varying as a continuous parameter, as ...

Fractional Black–Scholes option pricing, volatility calibration and implied Hurst exponents in South African context

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences, 2017
Background: Contingent claims on underlying assets are typically priced under a framework that assumes, inter alia, that the log returns of the underlying asset are normally distributed.

Adaptive Estimation for Weakly Dependent Functional Times Series

open access: yesJournal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose adaptive mean and autocovariance function estimators for stationary functional time series under 𝕃p−m‐approximability assumptions. These estimators are designed to adapt to the regularity of the curves and to accommodate both sparse and dense data designs.

The effect of round-off error on long memory processes

open access: yes, 2013
We study how the round-off (or discretization) error changes the statistical properties of a Gaussian long memory process. We show that the autocovariance and the spectral density of the discretized process are asymptotically rescaled by a factor smaller

Deep Neural Network Model for Hurst Exponent: Learning from R/S Analysis

open access: yesMathematics
This paper proposes a deep neural network (DNN) model to estimate the Hurst exponent, a crucial parameter in modelling stock market price movements driven by fractional geometric Brownian motion.

Investigation of non linear dynamics of an excitable magnetron sputtering plasma

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2019
In this paper nonlinear dynamical behaviour of an excitable DC magnetron sputtering plasma has been investigated. Initially, plasma exhibited fixed point dynamics whereas with the increase in the discharge voltage, spikes were observed in the floating ...

Denoising for satellite laser altimetry full-waveform data based on EMD-Hurst analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth, 2020
Full-waveform decomposition is crucial for obtaining accurate satellite-ground distance, the accuracy of which is severely affected by noises. However, the traditional filters all depend on filtering parameters.

Know Your Stripes? An Assessment of Climate Warming Stripes as a Graphical Risk Communication Format

open access: yesRisk Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stripe graphs have emerged as a popular format for the visual communication of environmental risks. The apparent appeal of the format has been attributed to its capacity to summarize complex data in an eye‐catching way that can be understood quickly and intuitively by diverse audiences.
