ECOMOR and LCR reinsurance with gamma-like claims

Assuming that the claim sizes of an insurance company have a common distribution with gamma-like tail, we study the asymptotic tail behaviour of the reinsured amounts under the ECOMOR and LCR reinsurance treaties, respectively. Our novel results include a precise asymptotic expansion for the tail probability of the reinsured amounts under the ECOMOR treaty and tight asymptotic bounds for the LCR case. As a by-product we derive a precise asymptotic expansion for the tail of the product of independent regularly varying random variables.     

The forgetfulness of balls and bins

We find the asymptotic total variation distance between two distributions on configurations of m balls in n labeled bins: in the first, each ball is placed in a bin uniformly at random; in the second, k balls are planted in an arbitrary but fixed arrangement and the remaining m ‐ k balls placed uniformly at random. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Subregion-Adaptive Integration of Functions Having a Dominant Peak

Abstract

Many statistical multiple integration problems involve integrands that have a dominant peak. In applying numerical methods to solve these problems, statisticians have paid relatively little attention to existing quadrature methods and available software developed in the numerical analysis literature. One reason these methods have been largely overlooked, even though they are known to be more efficient than Monte Carlo for well-behaved problems of low dimensionality, may be that when applied naively they are poorly suited for peaked-integrand problems. In this article we use transformations based on “split t” distributions to allow the integrals to be efficiently computed using a subregion-adaptive numerical integration algorithm. Our split t distributions are modifications of those suggested by Geweke and may also be used to define Monte Carlo importance functions. We then compare our approach to Monte Carlo. In the several examples we examine here, we find subregion-adaptive integration to be substantially more efficient than importance sampling.     

Multiple-scattering calculations for 1s photoelectron angular distributions from single oriented molecules in the energy region above 50 eV

1s photoelectron angular distributions from fixed-in-space CO₂, NO₂, BF₃ and CH₃F molecules have been calculated by X-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) theory with muffin-tin-type molecular potential. For all the molecules, the calculated results show good agreements with those by density functional theory in the energy region ?100 eV. Furthermore, for all the molecules experimental data on the angular distributions in such energy region are well reproduced by the XPD theory. These intensive studies lead to a rather general rule that the XPD theory is an adequate tool to describe high-energy photoelectron angular distributions for any single oriented molecules.     

Twisted shear Alfvén waves with orbital angular momentum

It is shown that a dispersive shear Alfvén wave (DSAW) in a magnetized plasma can propagate as a twisted Alfvén vortex beam carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). We obtain a wave equation from the generalized ion vorticity equation and the magnetic field-aligned electron momentum equation that couple the scalar and vector potentials of the DSAW. A twisted shear Alfvén vortex beam can trap and transport plasma particles and energy in magnetoplasmas, such as those in the Earth?s auroral zone, in the solar atmosphere, and in Large Plasma Device (LAPD) at University of California, Los Angeles.     

Universality in bibliometrics

Many discussions have enlarged the literature in Bibliometrics since the Hirsch proposal, the so called h-index. Ranking papers according to their citations, this index quantifies a researcher only by its greatest possible number of papers that are cited at least h times. A closed formula for h-index distribution that can be applied for distinct databases is not yet known. In fact, to obtain such distribution, the knowledge of citation distribution of the authors and its specificities are required. Instead of dealing with researchers randomly chosen, here we address different groups based on distinct databases. The first group is composed of physicists and biologists, with data extracted from Institute of Scientific Information (ISI). The second group is composed of computer scientists, in which data were extracted from Google-Scholar system. In this paper, we obtain a general formula for the h-index probability density function (pdf) for groups of authors by using generalized exponentials in the context of escort probability. Our analysis includes the use of several statistical methods to estimate the necessary parameters. Also an exhaustive comparison among the possible candidate distributions are used to describe the way the citations are distributed among authors. The h-index pdf should be used to classify groups of researchers from a quantitative point of view, which is meaningfully interesting to eliminate obscure qualitative methods.     

Robust estimation in inverse problems via quantile coupling

In this article we consider a sequence of hierarchical space model of inverse problems.The underlying function is estimated from indirect observations over a variety of error distributions including those that are heavy-tailed and may not even possess variances or means.The main contribution of this paper is that we establish some oracle inequalities for the inverse problems by using quantile coupling technique that gives a tight bound for the quantile coupling between an arbitrary sample p-quantile and a normal variable,and an automatic selection principle for the nonrandom filters.This leads to the data-driven choice of weights.We also give an algorithm for its implementation.The quantile coupling inequality developed in this paper is of independent interest,because it includes the median coupling inequality in literature as a special case.     

Dynamic evolution of transverse energy flow in focused asymmetric optical vector-vortex beams

We present here controlled generation of asymmetric optical vector-vortex beams using a two-mode optical fiber and study the dynamic evolution of the transverse energy flow (TEF) when focused through a spherical lens. The dependence of the TEF on various factors such as the vortex charge, vortex anisotropy and polarization structure around the vortex core is explored. It is found that the TEF is directly proportional to the phase gradient and its direction is governed by the vortex charge. The presence of C-point polarization singularity in the beam and the polarization structure around it results in vibrational phase gradient which is the major factor deciding the TEF in vector-vortex beams.     

周期量级激光脉冲作用下原子电离不对称性研究

应用不对称性参量对周期量级强激光脉冲下原子电离分布的反演不对称性进行了定量分析.采用非微扰的散射理论解析方法和三个激光模式模拟超短脉冲,研究不对称性参量随激光强度、包络位相和脉冲宽度的变化.计算表明,这种不对称性是随着波包的绝对位相以正弦形式变化而变化,其最大不对称程度依赖于脉冲强度和脉冲宽度.随着激光强度的提高,不对称性参量是先降低到最小值然后增加.对脉冲宽度相对长、有几个周期量级的高强度激光,其不对称性具有显著的特点.因此,提高脉冲强度有助于对包络绝对位相变化的观察.
