Global fluctuations and Gumbel statistics.
We explain how the statistics of global observables in correlated systems can be related to extreme value problems and to Gumbel statistics. This relationship then naturally leads to the emergence of the generalized Gumbel distribution Ga(x), with a real index a, in the study of global fluctuations. To illustrate these findings, we introduce an exactly solvable nonequilibrium model describing a...
متن کاملMassive Elliptical Galaxies : from Cores to Haloes
In the context of recent observational results that show massive ellipticals were in place at high redshifts, we reassess the status of monolithic collapse in a ΛCDM universe. Using a sample of over 2000 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, by comparing the dynamical mass and stellar mass (estimated from colours) we find that ellipticals have 'cores' which are baryon-dominated within the...
متن کاملCosmic microwave background anomalies viewed via Gumbel Statistics
We describe and discuss the application of Gumbel statistics, which model extreme events, to WMAP 5-year measurements of the cosmic microwave background. We find that temperature extrema of the CMB are well modelled by the Gumbel formalism and describe tests for Gaussianity that the approach can provide. Comparison to simulations reveals Gumbel statistics to have only weak discriminatory power ...
متن کاملGumbel based p-value approximations for spatial scan statistics
BACKGROUND The spatial and space-time scan statistics are commonly applied for the detection of geographical disease clusters. Monte Carlo hypothesis testing is typically used to test whether the geographical clusters are statistically significant as there is no known way to calculate the null distribution analytically. In Monte Carlo hypothesis testing, simulated random data are generated mult...
متن کاملExtreme-value statistics of hierarchically correlated variables deviation from Gumbel statistics and anomalous persistence.
We study analytically the distribution of the minimum of a set of hierarchically correlated random variables E1, E2,ellipsis, E(N) where E(i) represents the energy of the ith path of a directed polymer on a Cayley tree. If the variables were uncorrelated, the minimum energy would have an asymptotic Gumbel distribution. We show that due to the hierarchical correlations, the forward tail of the d...
