The main technical tool is provided by the stationary phase method. The extremal range for a stochastic process is defined by limit values of the complex logarithm of the characteristic function. The paper also outlines a numerical method for calculating stochastic extrema.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-01-30T17:35:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "62G32", "62F99", "62M99" ], "keywords": [ "characteristic function", "stochastic process", "stationary phase method", "extremal range", "main technical tool" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0801.4726N" } } }
