A Structure Topology Optimization With the First-Order Saddlepoint Approximation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
In practical engineering, uncertain loads usually cause the variations of structure stiffness to affect the security of the structure. To enhance the reliability and find the optimum structure in engineering, a topology optimization method is developed ...

The Stability of the Aggregate Loss Distribution

open access: yesRisks, 2018
In this article we introduce the stability analysis of a compound sum: it consists of computing the standardized variation of the survival function of the sum resulting from an infinitesimal perturbation of the common distribution of the summands ...

A Conditional Saddlepoint Approximation for Testing Problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
A saddlepoint approximation is provided for the distribution function of one M statistic conditional on another M statistic. Many interesting statistics based on dependent quantities (e.g., spacings, multinomial frequencies, rank differences) can be ...

Saddlepoint approximation for data in simplices: a review with new applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This article provides a review of the saddlepoint approximation for a M-statistic of a sample of nonnegative random variables with fixed sum. The sample vector follows the multinomial, the multivariate hypergeometric, the multivariate Polya or the ...

The probabilistic modeling and reliability analysis of brake shoes for hoist disc brake with correlated failure modes

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2020
In view of the lack of reliability research with correlated failure modes of the hoist disk shoes, the stochastic finite element method was used to analyze the reliability of multi-failure mode under emergency braking condition of disk shoe for deep well

Saddlepoint Approximation for Sensor Network Optimization [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings. (ICASSP '05). IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2005., 2006
The task of detection optimization in sensor networks is hindered by the large computational cost of evaluating the performance criteria, e.g. the probability of making wrong decisions. We present an approach that avoids these obstacles by considering a rather accurate approximation to computing the detection performance.

Replica Wormholes and Quantum Hair

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The recent applications of Euclidean path integrals to the black hole information problem are discussed. In calculations with replica wormholes as the next‐to‐leading order correction to the Gibbons–Hawking saddlepoint, the radiation density matrix approaches a pure state at late times, following the Page curve.

On the Approximation of Saddlepoint Expansions in Statistics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The exact saddlepoint approximation as developed by Daniels [4], is an extremely accurate method for approximating probability distributions. Recent applications of the technique to densities of statistics of interest have been hindered by the ...

Second order exponential asymptotic expansion for probabilistic load flow analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems
Due to the inherent randomness in certain resources and load demands, load flow analysis must be performed using efficient and robust probabilistic methods to accurately capture power system uncertainties.

Saddlepoint Approximations in Statistics

open access: yesThe Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1954
It is often required to approximate to the distribution of some statistic whose exact distribution cannot be conveniently obtained. When the first few moments are known, a common procedure is to fit a law of the Pearson or Edgeworth type having the same moments as far as they are given.
