A dynamical Gaussian, lognormal, and reverse lognormal Kalman filter

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2023
AbstractWe derive a generalization of the Kalman filter that allows for non‐Gaussian background and observation errors. The Gaussian assumption is replaced by considering that the errors come from a mixed distribution of Gaussian, lognormal, and reverse lognormal random variables.

Multilevel Quasi-Monte Carlo methods for lognormal diffusion problems [PDF]

open access: yesMathematics of Computation, 2015
In this paper we present a rigorous cost and error analysis of a multilevel estimator based on randomly shifted Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) lattice rules for lognormal diffusion problems. These problems are motivated by uncertainty quantification problems in

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.

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 ...

Sparse polynomial approximation of parametric elliptic PDEs. Part II: lognormal coefficients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Elliptic partial differential equations with diffusion coefficients of lognormal form, that is $a=exp(b)$, where $b$ is a Gaussian random field, are considered.

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.

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.

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.

Orthonormal Polynomial Expansions and Lognormal Sum Densities [PDF]

open access: yesRisk and Stochastics, 2015
Approximations for an unknown density $g$ in terms of a reference density $f_\nu$ and its associated orthonormal polynomials are discussed. The main application is the approximation of the density $f$ of a sum $S$ of lognormals which may have different ...

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.
