  • cumulant expansion for fast estimate of non condon effects in vibronic transition profiles
    Scientific Reports, 2017
    Co-Authors: Robert Berger
    Abstract:

    When existing, Cumulants can provide valuable information about a given distribution and can in principle be used to either fully reconstruct or approximate the parent distribution function. A previously reported cumulant expansion approach for Franck–Condon profiles [Faraday Discuss., 150, 363 (2011)] is extended to describe also the profiles of vibronic transitions that are weakly allowed or forbidden in the Franck–Condon approximation (non-Condon profiles). In the harmonic approximation the Cumulants of the vibronic profile can be evaluated analytically and numerically with a coherent state-based generating function that accounts for the Duschinsky effect. As illustration, the one-photon 1 1Ag → 1 1B2u UV absorption profile of benzene in the electric dipole and (linear) Herzberg–Teller approximation is presented herein for zero Kelvin and finite temperatures.

  • a new approach for geological pattern recognition using high order spatial Cumulants
    Computers & Geosciences, 2010
    Co-Authors: Hussein Mustapha, Roussos Dimitrakopoulos
    Abstract:

    Spatially distributed natural phenomena represent complex non-linear and non-Gaussian systems. Currently, their spatial distributions are typically studied using second-order spatial statistical models, which are limiting considering the spatial complexity of natural phenomena such as geological applications. High-order geostatistics is a new area of research based on higher-order spatial connectivity measures, especially spatial Cumulants as suitable for non-Gaussian and non-linear phenomena. This paper presents HOSC or High-order spatial Cumulants, an algorithm for calculating spatial Cumulants, including anisotropic experimental Cumulants based on spatial templates. High-order Cumulants are calculated on two- and three-dimensional synthetic training images so as to elaborate on their characteristics. Spatial Cumulants up to and including the fifth-order are found to be efficient in characterizing patterns on both binary and continuous images. The behaviour of spatial Cumulants is shown to characterize well the behaviour of the spatial architecture of geological data, including the degree of homogeneity and connectivity. The high-order Cumulants are found to be relatively insensitive to the number of data used, and relatively small data sets are sufficient to provide cumulant maps. HOSC has been coded in FORTAN 90 and is easily integrated to the S-GeMS open source platform.

  • high order statistics of spatial random fields exploring spatial Cumulants for modeling complex non gaussian and non linear phenomena
    Mathematical Geosciences, 2010
    Co-Authors: Roussos Dimitrakopoulos, Hussein Mustapha, Erwan Gloaguen
    Abstract:

    The spatial distributions of earth science and engineering phenomena under study are currently predicted from finite measurements and second-order geostatistical models. The latter models can be limiting, as geological systems are highly complex, non-Gaussian, and exhibit non-linear patterns of spatial connectivity. Non-linear and non-Gaussian high-order geostatistics based on spatial connectivity measures, namely spatial Cumulants, are proposed as a new alternative modeling framework for spatial data. This framework has two parts. The first part is the definition, properties, and inference of spatial Cumulants—including understanding the interrelation of cumulant characteristics with the in-situ behavior of geological entities or processes, as examined in this paper. The second part is the research on a random field model for simulation based on its high-order spatial Cumulants.

  • CONSISTENT ESTIMATION OF THE FOURTH‐ORDER CUMULANT SPECTRAL DENSITY
    Journal of Time Series Analysis, 2008
    Co-Authors: Peter T. Kim
    Abstract:

    Abstract. In this paper we consider the estimation of the fourth-order cumulant spectral density. Indeed this is the first case where the cumulant depends on lower-order product moments for a mean-zero stationary process. The proposed estimator of the fourth-order cumulant spectral density is constructed by replacing product moments with appropriately weighted estimates of product moments according to the definition of the fourth-order cumulant spectral density. Asymptotic unbiasedness and consistency are shown to hold for these estimators under stationarity and absolute summability of Cumulants up to various orders with no restrictions on the frequencies. An expression for the asymptotic variance is also obtained.
