Log-amplitude statistics of non-Gaussian fluctuations
نویسنده
چکیده
To quantify heavy-tailed distributions observed in financial time series, we propose a general method to characterize symmetric non-Gaussian distributions. In our approach, an observed time series is assumed to be described by the multiplication of Gaussian and amplitude random variables, where the amplitude variable describes fluctuations of the standard deviation. Based on this framework, it is shown that statistical properties of the log-amplitude fluctuations can be estimated using the logarithmic absolute moments of the observed time series.

Log-amplitude statistics of intermittent and non-Gaussian time series.
In studies of hydrodynamic turbulence and nonequilibrium systems, it has been demonstrated that the observed non-Gaussian probability density functions are often described effectively by a superposition of Gaussian distributions with fluctuating variances. Based on this framework, we propose a general method to characterize intermittent and non-Gaussian time series. In our approach, an observed...
متن کاملLog-amplitude statistics for Beck-Cohen superstatistics.
As a possible generalization of Beck-Cohen superstatistical processes, we study non-Gaussian processes with temporal heterogeneity of local variance. To characterize the variance heterogeneity, we define log-amplitude cumulants and log-amplitude autocovariance and derive closed-form expressions of the log-amplitude cumulants for χ(2), inverse χ(2), and log-normal superstatistical distributions....
متن کاملNon-Gaussian statistics of multiple filamentation.
We consider the statistics of light amplitude fluctuations for the propagation of a laser beam subjected to multiple filamentation in an amplified Kerr media, with both linear and nonlinear dissipation. Dissipation arrests the catastrophic collapse of filaments, causing their disintegration into almost linear waves. These waves form a nearly Gaussian random field that seeds new filaments. For s...
متن کاملHigh Order Correction Terms for The Peak - Peak Correlation Function in Nearly - Gaussian Models
Context. One possible way to investigate the nature of the primordial power spectrum fluctuations is by investigating the statistical properties of the local maximum in the density fluctuation fields. Aims. In this work we present a study of the mean correlation function, ξ r , and the correlation function for high amplitude fluctuations (peak-peak correlation) in a slighlty non-Gaussian contex...
متن کاملComments on non-Gaussian density perturbations and the production of primordial black holes
We review the basic arguments for the likelihood of non-Gaussian density perturbations in inflation models with primordial black hole (PBH) production. We discuss our derived distributions of field fluctuations and their implications, specifically commenting on the finetuning problem. We also discuss how the derived distributions may be affected when linked to metric perturbations. While linkin...
