Recurrence of extreme events with power-law interarrival times

چکیده
[1] In various geophysical applications, power-law interarrival times are observed between extreme events. Classical extreme value theory is based on exponentially distributed interarrivals and can not be applied to these processes. We solve for the density of the maxima of a sequence of random extreme events with any distribution of random interarrivals by applying a continuous time random max model, similar to a random walk model. The equation is exact when the distributions of the exceedances and the interarrivals are known. If only the tail properties of the exceedances and interarrivals can be estimated, then limiting extreme value distributions governing the maximum observation or exceedance are used. The general extreme value densities are obtained by transforming the classical extreme value distributions via subordination. This new class of extreme value densities can be used to obtain recurrence intervals for extreme events with power-law interarrivals. Citation: Benson, D. A., R. Schumer, and M. M.

Point process model of 1/f noise vs a sum of Lorentzians.
We present a simple point process model of 1/f(beta) noise, covering different values of the exponent beta . The signal of the model consists of pulses or events. The interpulse, interevent, interarrival, recurrence, or waiting times of the signal are described by the general Langevin equation with the multiplicative noise and stochastically diffuse in some interval resulting in a power-law dis...

متن کاملFertility heterogeneity as a mechanism for power law distributions of recurrence times.
We study the statistical properties of recurrence times in the self-excited Hawkes conditional Poisson process, the simplest extension of the Poisson process that takes into account how the past events influence the occurrence of future events. Specifically, we analyze the impact of the power law distribution of fertilities with exponent α, where the fertility of an event is the number of trigg...

Creep experiments on cellular glass under a constant compressive load are monitored by acoustic emission. The statistical analysis of the acoustic signals emitted by the sample while stress is being internally redistributed shows that the distribution of amplitudes follows a power law, N(A);A, with b52.0 independent of the load. Similarly, the interarrival times between two recorded events are ...

Understanding the statistical properties of recurrence intervals of extreme events is crucial to risk assessment and management of complex systems. The probability distributions and correlations of recurrence intervals for many systems have been extensively investigated. However, the impacts of microscopic rules of a complex system on the macroscopic properties of its recurrence intervals are l...
