The generalized lognormal distribution and the Stieltjes moment problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper studies a Stieltjes-type moment problem defined by the generalized lognormal distribution, a heavy-tailed distribution with applications in economics, finance and related fields.

An Approximate Closed Formula for European Mortgage Options

open access: yesTrends in Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2023
The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of close formula approximation for pricing European mortgage options. Under the assumption of logistic duration and normal mortgage rates the underlying price at the option expiry is approximated by ...

Pareto versus lognormal: a maximum entropy test [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
It is commonly found that distributions that seem to be lognormal over a broad range change to a power-law (Pareto) distribution for the last few percentiles.

Modeling of screening effect to number of thermal cycles by investigation of space hardware thermal vacuum test

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016
Thermal vacuum and thermal cycle testing are widely complemented in space flight hardware and components as an effective way to screen out potential defects in manufacture and integration.

Bayesian weak lensing tomography: Reconstructing the 3D large-scale distribution of matter with a lognormal prior

open access: yes, 2017
We present a Bayesian reconstruction algorithm that infers the three-dimensional large-scale matter distribution from the weak gravitational lensing effects measured in the image shapes of galaxies.

Temporal properties of the short gamma-ray bursts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A temporal analysis has been performed on a sample of 100 bright gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with T902s. The two sub-classes of GRBs appear to have the same emission mechanism which is probably caused by internal shocks.

Neuronal variability during handwriting: lognormal distribution. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
We examined time-dependent statistical properties of electromyographic (EMG) signals recorded from intrinsic hand muscles during handwriting. Our analysis showed that trial-to-trial neuronal variability of EMG signals is well described by the lognormal ...

On the inadequacy of N-point correlation functions to describe nonlinear cosmological fields: explicit examples and connection to simulations

open access: yes, 2012
Motivated by recent results on lognormal statistics showing that the moment hierarchy of a lognormal variable completely fails at capturing its information content in the large variance regime, we discuss in this work the inadequacy of the hierarchy of ...
