Validation of semi-analytical, semi-empirical covariance matrices for two-point correlation function for early DESI data

Cheng Zhao

We present an extended validation of semi-analytical, semi-empirical covariance matrices for the two-point correlation function (2PCF) on simulated catalogs representative of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) data collected during the initial 2 months of operat ...

Stochastic distributed learning with gradient quantization and double-variance reduction

Sebastian Urban Stich

We consider distributed optimization over several devices, each sending incremental model updates to a central server. This setting is considered, for instance, in federated learning. Various schemes have been designed to compress the model updates in orde ...

The DESI N-body Simulation Project - II. Suppressing sample variance with fast simulations

Cheng Zhao, Yu Yu, Andrei Variu

Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will construct a large and precise three-dimensional map of our Universe. The survey effective volume reaches similar to 20 h(-3) Gpc(3). It is a great challenge to prepare high-resolution simulations with a much ...

A Covariance Formula For Topological Events Of Smooth Gaussian Fields

Alejandro Rivera

We derive a covariance formula for the class of 'topological events' of smooth Gaussian fields on manifolds; these are events that depend only on the topology of the level sets of the field, for example, (i) crossing events for level or excursion sets, (ii ...

Fast ion transport phenomena in turbulent toroidal plasmas

Fabian Manke

In the field of plasma physics, suprathermal ions are encountered e.g. in astrophysical jets, the solar wind, as well as fusion plasmas, where they originate from neutral beam injection or fusion reactions. One aspect of shared interest with astrophysical ...

Demonstration of Multiple Kerr-Frequency-Comb Generation Using Different Lines from Another Kerr Comb Located up to a 50 km Distance

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Arne Kordts, Fatemeh Alishahi

We experimentally demonstrate multiple Kerr-frequency-comb generation using different lines from another Kerr comb located up to a 50 km distance. The master and generated slave combs are mutually coherent and have a small variance of frequency error. ...

Gait disturbances as specific predictive markers of the first fall onset in elderly people: a two-year prospective observational study

Jean-Baptiste Mignardot

Falls are common in the elderly, and potentially result in injury and disability. Thus, preventing falls as soon as possible in older adults is a public health priority, yet there is no specific marker that is predictive of the first fall onset. We hypothe ...

Light-cone anisotropy in the 21 cm signal from the epoch of reionization

Yves Revaz

Using a suite of detailed numerical simulations, we estimate the level of anisotropy generated by the time evolution along the light cone of the 21 cm signal from the epoch of reionization. Our simulations include the physics necessary to model the signal ...

Wavelet-variance-based estimation for composite stochastic processes

Jan Skaloud, Stéphane Guerrier, Yannick Stebler

This article presents a new estimation method for the parameters of a time series model. We consider here composite Gaussian processes that are the sum of independent Gaussian processes which, in turn, explain an important aspect of the time series, as is ...

Advantages of Variance Stabilization

Stephan Morgenthaler, Robert Staudte

Variance stabilization is a simple device for normalizing a statistic. Even though its large sample properties are similar to those of studentizing, many simulation studies of confidence interval procedures show that variance stabilization works better for ...
