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, Poisson shot noise, certain infinitely divisible, $\\alpha$--stable and max--stable random fields satisfying some extra dependence conditions. Functional limit theorems (with the excursion level being an argument of the limiting Gaussian process) are reviewed as well. For stationary isotropic $C^1$--smooth Gaussian random fields similar results are available also for the surface area of the excursion set. Statistical tests of Gaussianity of a random field which are of importance to real data analysis as well as results for an increasing excursion level round up the paper.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-07-23T12:57:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stationary random fields", "excursion set", "limit theorems", "excursion level", "gaussian random fields similar results" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1307.6050S" } } }
