Excursion Sets of Stable Random Fields 3

چکیده
Studying the geometry generated by Gaussian and Gaussianrelated random fields via their excursion sets is now a well developed and well understood subject. The purely non-Gaussian scenario has, however, not been studied at all. In this paper we look at three classes of stable random fields, and obtain asymptotic formulae for the mean values of various geometric characteristics of their excursion sets over high levels. While the formulae are asymptotic, they contain enough information to show that not only do stable random fields exhibit geometric behaviour very different from that of Gaussian fields, but they also differ significantly among themselves.

Limit theorems for excursion sets of stationary random fields
We give an overview of the recent asymptotic results on the geometry of excursion sets of stationary random fields. Namely, we cover a number of limit theorems of central type for the volume of excursions of stationary (quasi–, positively or negatively) associated random fields with stochastically continuous realizations for a fixed excursion level. This class includes in particular Gaussian, P...
متن کاملCLT for Lipschitz-Killing curvatures of excursion sets of Gaussian random fields
Our interest in this paper is to explore limit theorems for various geometric functionals of excursion sets of isotropic Gaussian random fields. In the past, limit theorems have been proven for various geometric functionals of excursion sets/sojourn times ( see [4, 13, 14, 18, 22, 25] for a sample of works in such settings). The most recent addition being [6] where a central limit theorem (CLT)...
متن کاملHigh Level Excursion Set Geometry for Non-gaussian Infinitely Divisible Random Fields
over high levels u. For a large class of such random fields we compute the u → ∞ asymptotic joint distribution of the numbers of critical points, of various types, of X in Au, conditional on Au being non-empty. This allows us, for example, to obtain the asymptotic conditional distribution of the Euler characteristic of the excursion set. In a significant departure from the Gaussian situation, t...
متن کاملLipschitz-Killing curvatures of the Excursion Sets of Skew Student's t Random fields
In many real applications related with Geostatistics, medical imaging and material science, the real observations have asymmetric, and heavy-tailed multivariate distributions. These observations are spatially correlated and they could be modelled by the skew random fields. However, certain statistical analysis problems require giving analytical expectations of some integral geometric characteri...
متن کاملLocal maxima and the expected Euler characteristic of excursion sets of χ, F and t fields
The maximum of a Gaussian random field was used by Worsley et al. (1992) to test for activation at an unknown point in positron emission tomography images of blood flow in the human brain. The Euler characteristic of excursion sets was used as an estimator of the number of regions of activation. The expected Euler characteristic of excursion sets of stationary Gaussian random fields has been de...
