Padmanabhan (1996) has suggested a model to relate the nonlinear two - point correlation function to the linear two - point correlation function. In this paper, we extend this model in two directions: (1) By averaging over the initial…
We study distribution testing without direct access to a source of relevant data, but rather to one where only a tiny fraction is relevant. To enable this, we introduce the following verification query model. The goal is to perform a…
We review a recently proposed theory of random packings. We describe the volume fluctuations in jammed matter through a volume function, amenable to analytical and numerical calculations. We combine an extended statistical mechanics…
We discuss models in which the smallness of the effective vacuum energy density $\rho_\L$ and the coincidence of the time of its dominance $t_\L$ with the epoch of galaxy formation $t_G$ are due to anthropic selection effects. In such…
We explore a signature of phase correlations in Fourier modes of dark matter density fields induced by nonlinear gravitational clustering. We compute the distribution function of the phase sum of the Fourier modes,…
We develop a model for the matter power spectrum as the sum of Zeldovich approximation and even powers of $k$, i.e., $A_0 - A_2k^2 + A_4k^4 - ...$, compensated at low $k$. With terms up to $k^4$ the model can predict the true power spectrum…
The accuracy of compound Poisson approximation to the sum $S=w_1S_1+w_2S_2+...+w_NS_N$ is estimated. Here $S_i$ are sums of independent or weakly dependent random variables, and $w_i$ denote weights. The overall smoothing effect of $S$ on…
We derive the properties and demonstrate the desirability of a model-based method for estimating the spatially-varying effects of covariates on the quantile function. By modeling the quantile function as a combination of I-spline basis…
The rules of a game of dice are extended to a "hyper-die" with $n\in\mathbb{N}$ equally probable faces, numbered from 1 to $n$. We derive recursive and explicit expressions for the probability mass function and the cumulative distribution…
We consider the problem of estimating the joint distribution of $n$ independent random variables. Our approach is based on a family of candidate probabilities that we shall call a model and which is chosen to either contain the true…
In particle-in-cell simulations and some other statistical computations, the representation of modelled distributions with tracked macro-particles can become locally excessive. Merging or resampling dense clusters or highly-populated phase…
We determine the volume and mass dependence of scalar and pseudoscalar two-point functions in N_f-flavour QCD, in the presence of an isospin chemical potential and at fixed gauge-field topology. We obtain these results at second order in…
A linear dispersive mechanism leading to a burst in the $L_\infty$ norm of the error in numerical simulation of polychromatic solutions is identified. This local error pile-up corresponds to the existence of spurious caustics, which are…
In this paper, the statistical properties of Newton s method algorithm output in a specific case have been studied. The relative frequency density of this sample converges to a well-defined function, prompting us to explore its…
Skewness and kurtosis are fundamental statistical moments commonly used to quantify asymmetry and tail behavior in probability distributions. Despite their widespread application in statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics, and…
We investigate the distribution of the volume and coordination number associated to each particle in a jammed packing of monodisperse hard sphere using the mesoscopic ensemble developed in Nature 453, 606 (2008). Theory predicts an…
We analyze statistical probability distributions of intensities collected by diffraction techniques like Low-Energy Electron Diffraction. A simple theoretical model based in hard-sphere potentials and LEED formalism is investigated for…
We study the volume of rigid loop-$O(n)$ quadrangulations with a boundary of length $2p$ in the non-generic critical regime. We prove that, as the half-perimeter $p$ goes to infinity, the volume scales in distribution to an explicit random…
Models of multi-field inflation exhibiting primordial non-Gaussianity have recently been introduced. This is the case in particular if the fluctuations of a light field scalar field, transverse to the inflaton direction, with quartic…
Pion-loop corrections for Compton scattering are calculated in a novel approach based on the use of dispersion relations in a formalism obeying unitarity. The basic framework is presented, including an application to Compton scattering. In…
