[article]
2011
arXiv
pre-print
We propose a general methodology for performing statistical inference within a 'rare-events regime' that was recently suggested by Wagner, Viswanath and Kulkarni. ...
Our approach allows one to easily establish consistent estimators for a very large class of canonical estimation problems, in a large alphabet setting. ...
INTRODUCTION We propose a general methodology for performing statistical inference within the 'rare-events regime' suggested by Wagner, Viswanath and Kulkarni in [1] , referred to as WVK hereafter. ...

Holocene fire and vegetation dynamics in a montane forest, North Cascade Range, Washington, USA
2009
Quaternary Research
Climate appears to be a key driver in vegetation and fire regimes over millennial time scales. ...
For example, dominance of P. contorta in the early Holocene forests may have been reinforced by its susceptibility to frequent, stand-replacing fire events. ...
This manuscript is a contribution of the Western Mountain Initiative. ...

Monte Carlo study of phase transitions in the bond-diluted 3D 4-state Potts model
2005
Nuclear Physics B
Rare and typical events are identified and their role is qualitatively discussed in both regimes. ...
In the former regime, the nature of the transition is essentially clarified through an analysis of the energy probability distribution. In the latter regime critical exponents are estimated. ...
The authors gratefully thank Ian Campbell for a critical reading of the preprint which helped to improve it. ...

An observational and modelling analysis of Laptev Sea (Arctic Ocean) ice variations during summer
2001
Annals of Glaciology
A canonical correlation analysis between Arctic sea-level pressure and sea-ice concentration anomalies confirms large-scale relationships among these variables. ...
We did not find a simple relationship between sea-ice area anomalies and cyclone activity in the Laptev Sea area ...
The pattern of the SIC shows the seasonal decrease of SIC in the Arctic's marginal seas, while the second correlated mode (the estimated canonical correlation is 0.7) shows a rather rare atmospheric circulation ...

Studying Strangeness Production with HADES
2018

As strangeness is produced very rarely in the analyzed energy regime (typical one ss pair per event), its production is additionally suppressed by introducing a sub-volume, characterized by the canonical ...

Editorial: special issue on extremes in finance
2014
Extremes
Rare are the fields of application where an EVT related quantity is written in the law as a quantity to be statistically estimated; VaR is such a case. ...
As the question involves statistical estimation of risk measures at quantile levels beyond 99 %, EVT becomes a canonical tool in some of the ensuing discussions. ...

Rare Events and Scale-Invariant Dynamics of Perturbations in Delayed Chaotic Systems
2004
Physical Review Letters
As a consequence, Lyapunov vector dynamics is dominated by rare random events that lead to non-Gaussian fluctuations and multiscaling properties. ...
We study the dynamics of perturbations in time delayed dynamical systems. ...
From that figure we obtain an estimation of the growth exponent 0:25 0:03 in the intermediate times regime, before a stationary state is reached. ...

Phase transition in the Jarzynski estimator of free energy differences
2012
Physical Review E
The transition between a regime in which thermodynamic relations apply only to ensembles of small systems coupled to a large environment and a regime in which they can be used to characterize individual ...
In the proper scaling limit, this regime change can be described in terms of a phase transition in variants of the random energy model (REM). ...
However, the sum is dominated by rare events that need to be sufficiently well sampled so that the Monte Carlo estimate is close to the asymptotic result. ...

Neutrality and the Response of Rare Species to Environmental Variance
2008
PLoS ONE
This effect translated into a marked decrease in the characteristic time scale of species turnover, highlighting the role of rare species in driving assemblage dynamics in fluctuating environments. ...
The experimental results did not reject neutrality, but identified a positive effect of intermediate levels of environmental heterogeneity on the abundance of rare species. ...
In a spatial context, Condit et al. [10] found adequate fit of a neutral model to empirical estimates of beta diversity in tropical forests at scales between 0.2 and 50 km. ...

Achieving the Threshold Regime with an Overscreened Josephson Junction
2009
Physical Review Letters
In the underdamped limit, over-screening the junction inhibits the energy diffusion in the junction, effectively creating a tunable activation barrier to the dissipative state. ...
We demonstrate that by utilizing an over-screened Josephson junction as a noise detector it is possible to achieve the threshold regime, whereby the tails of the fluctuating current distribution are measured ...
The power of these current kicks is proportional to the velocityφ, and therefore creates positive feedback for rare-event activation in the weak damping regime, because the velocity continues to grows ...
