This paper addresses the problem of estimating the model parameters of a piecewise multi-linear (PML) approximation to a probability density function (PDF). In an earlier paper, we already introduced the PML model and discussed its use for the purpose of designing Bayesian pattern classifiers. The estimation of the unknown model parameters was based on a least squares minimisation of the differ...

The velocity-dissipation-composition probability density function (pdf) method is used to model a turbulent CO/H2/N2-air-piloted jet diffusion flame in the regime of extinction. The thermochemistry is modeled by a three-scalar simplified formulation obtained by the intrinsic low-dimensional manifold (ILDM) method. Calculations are performed for five different jet velocities, and the scalar pdfs...

A model describing the evaporation of an isolated drop of a multicomponent fuel containing hundreds of species has been developed. The model is based on Continuous Thermodynamics concepts wherein the composition of a fuel is statistically described using a Probability Distribution Function (PDF). Following previous studies, this PDF is parametrized on the species molar weight. However, unlike i...

We present a nonlinear stochastic differential equation (SDE) which mimics the probability density function (PDF) of the return and the power spectrum of the absolute return in financial markets. Absolute return as a measure of market volatility is considered in the proposed model as a long-range memory stochastic variable. The SDE is obtained from the analogy with earlier proposed model of tra...

The signal to interference ratio (SIR) in the presence of multipath fading, shadowing and path loss is a valuable parameter for studying the capacity of a wireless system. This paper presents a new generalized path loss equation that takes into account the large-scale path loss as well as the small-scale multipath fading. The probability density function (pdf) of the SIR for selforganising wire...
