Applications of the worldline Monte Carlo formalism in quantum mechanics
James P. Edwards, Urs Gerber, Christian Schubert +3
In recent years efficient algorithms have been developed for the numerical computation of relativistic single-particle path integrals in quantum field theory. Here, we adapt this "…
Estimating the Maximum Intensities of Soft X-ray Flares Using Extreme Value Theory
V. De la Luz, E. P. Balanzario, T. Tsiftsi
Solar flares are one of the most energetic events in the solar system, their impact on Earth at ground level and its atmosphere remains under study. The repercussions of this pheno…
Statistical shape analysis in a Bayesian framework for shapes in two and three dimensions
Thomai Tsiftsi
In this paper, we describe a novel shape classification method which is embedded in the Bayesian paradigm. We discuss the modelling and the resulting shape classification algorithm…
Bayesian shape modelling of cross-sectional geological data
Thomai Tsiftsi, Ian H. Jermyn, Jochen Einbeck
Shape information is of great importance in many applications. For example, the oil-bearing capacity of sand bodies, the subterranean remnants of ancient rivers, is related to thei…
Extreme Value Analysis of Solar Flare Events
Thomai Tsiftsi, Victor De la Luz
Space weather events such as solar flares can be harmful for life and infrastructure on earth or in near-earth orbit. In this paper we employ extreme value theory (EVT) to model ex…
