Modeling Rare Transition Events
Dynamics in nature often proceed in the form of rare transition events: The system under study spends very long periods of time at various metastable states; only very rarely it hops from one metastable state to another. Understanding the dynamics of such systems requires us to study the ensemble of transition paths between the different metastable states. Transition path theory is a general ma...
متن کاملHow rare are diffusive rare events?
We study the time until first occurrence, the first-passage time, of rare density fluctuations in diffusive systems. We approach the problem using a model consisting of many independent random walkers on a lattice. The existence of spatial correlations makes this problem analytically intractable. However, for a mean-field approximation in which the walkers can jump anywhere in the system, we ob...
متن کاملPredators are rare even when they are small
A recent review of published studies revealed that predators generally have lower population densities than non-predators in a variety of communities. We report here similar results for a highly replicated study of macroinvertebrates that colonized very uniform detrital microcosms in an old field. This pattern persisted even though predators usually were smaller than non-predators, as determine...
متن کاملWhen Things Are Not as They Appear: Assessing the Adequacy of Cluster Randomization When Outcome Events Are Rare at Baseline
The present study randomly assigned 15 Bahamian elementary schools to one of three intervention conditions. To assess the adequacy of cluster randomization, we examined two concerns identified by the local research team: inequality of gender distribution and environmental risk among groups. Baseline significant differences in risk and protective behaviors were minimal. There were significantly ...
متن کاملStrong Memoryless times and Rare Events in Markov Renewal Point Processes
Let W be the number of points in (0, t] of a stationary finitestate Markov renewal point process. We derive a bound for the total variation distance between the distribution of W and a compound Poisson distribution. For any nonnegative random variable ζ, we construct a “strong memoryless time” ζ̂ such that ζ − t is exponentially distributed conditional on {ζ̂ ≤ t, ζ > t}, for each t. This is used...
