Most astrophysical plasmas are observed to have velocity distribution functions exhibiting non-Maxwellian suprathermal tails. The high energy particle populations are accurately represented by the family of kappa-distributions where the use…

The number of modes in a probability density function is representative of the complexity of a model and can also be viewed as the number of subpopulations. Despite its relevance, there has been limited research in this area. A novel…

We show that the statistics of tunnelling can be dramatically affected by scarring and derive distributions quantifying this effect. Strong deviations from the prediction of random matrix theory can be explained quantitatively by modifying…

In this paper, we have proposed a new method for solving the Gaussian integral. Introducing a parameter that depends on a $n$ index, we have found a general solution for this type of integral inspired by Taylor series of a simple function.…

We develop Bayesian predictive stacking for geostatistical models, where the primary inferential objective is to provide inference on the latent spatial random field and conduct spatial predictions at arbitrary locations. We exploit…

In a paper [8] the authors classify entropy into three categories, as a thermodynamics quantity, as a measure of information production, and as a means of statistical inference. An entropy measure introduced by Mathai falls into the second…

In spite of its undeniable success, there are still open questions regarding Tsallis non-extensive statistical formalism, whose founding stone was laid in 1988 in JSTAT. Some of them are concerned with the so-called normalization problem of…

The nonextensitivity parameter $q$ occuring in some of the applications of Tsallis statistics (known also as index of the corresponding L\'evy distribution) is shown to be given, in $q>1$ case, entirely by the fluctuations of the parameters…
