Marginal Distributions

Data-driven random process models have become increasingly important for uncertainty quantification (UQ) in science and engineering applications, due to their merit of capturing both the marginal distributions and the correlations of high-dimensional responses. However, the choice of a random process model is neither unique nor straightforward. To quantitatively validate the accuracy of random process UQ models, new metrics are needed to measure their capability in capturing the statistical information of high-dimensional data collected from simulations or experimental tests. In this work, two goodness-of-fit (GOF) metrics, namely, a statistical moment-based metric (SMM) and an M-margin U-pooling metric (MUPM), are proposed for comparing different stochastic models, taking into account their capabilities of capturing the marginal distributions and the correlations in spatial/temporal domains. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of the two proposed metrics by comparing the accuracies of four random process models (Gaussian process (GP), Gaussian copula, Hermite polynomial chaos expansion (PCE), and Karhunen–Loeve (K–L) expansion) in multiple numerical examples and an engineering example of stochastic analysis of microstructural materials properties. In addition to the new metrics, this paper provides insights into the pros and cons of various data-driven random process models in UQ.

Physicists have recently begun doing research in finance, and even though this movement is less than five years old, interesting and useful contributions have already emerged. This article reviews these developments in four areas, including empirical statistical properties of prices, random-process models for price dynamics, agent-based modeling, and practical applications.

Limiting Values

Statistical modelling of ocean waves is complicated by their nonlinearity, which leads in turn to non-Gaussian statistical behavior. While non-Gaussianity is present even in deep-water applications, its effects are especially pronounced as water depths decrease. We apply two types of wave models here: (1) local models of extreme wave heights/periods and breaking limits, and (2) random process models of the entire non-Gaussian wave surface. For the random process approach, we derive a new “truncated” Hermite model, which can reflect four moments and both upper- and lower-bound limiting values due to breaking and finite-depth effects. Results are calibrated and compared with an extensive model test series, comprising up to 23 hrs of histories across 19 seastates, at depths from 15–67m (full scale).

In this paper, a modified random process model of earthquake ground motion based on the model proposed by JinPing Ou is presented. The parameters in the model except the factor S0 are determined by using the least square method and the power spectral densities of 361 earthquake records. Then the method for determining the parameter S0 is proposed. The good performance of the proposed model in this paper in modeling the earthquake ground motion on firm ground is demonstrated by comparing it with other random process models.
