Recent work has suggested that in highly correlated systems, such as sandpiles, turbulent fluids, ignited trees in forest fires and magnetization in a ferromagnet close to a critical point, the probability distribution of a global quantity (i.e. total energy dissipation, magnetization and so forth) that has been normalized to the first two moments follows a specific non Gaussian curve. This curve follows a form suggested by extremum statistics, which is specified by a single parameter a (a=1 corresponds to the Fisher-Tippett Type I (Gumbel) distribution.) Here, we present a framework for testing for extremal statistics in a global observable. In any given system, we wish to obtain a in order to distinguish between the different Fisher-Tippett asymptotes, and to compare with the above work. The normalizations of the extremal curves are obtained as a function of a. We find that for realistic ranges of data, the various extremal distributions when normalized to the first two moments are difficult to distinguish. In addition, the convergence to the limiting extremal distributions for finite datasets is both slow and varies with the asymptote. However, when the third moment is expressed as a function of a this is found to be a more sensitive method.

The normalized probability density function (PDF) of global measures of a large class of highly correlated systems has previously been demonstrated to fall on a single non-Gaussian universal curve. We derive the functional form of the global PDF in terms of the source PDF of the individual events in the system. A single parameter distinguishes the global PDF and is related to the exponent of the source PDF. When normalized, the global PDF is shown to be insensitive to this parameter and importantly we obtain the previously demonstrated universality from an uncorrelated Gaussian source PDF. The second and third moments of the global PDF are more sensitive, providing a powerful tool to probe the degree of complexity of physical systems.
In a series of pump and probe experiments, we study the lifetime statistics of a quantum chaotic resonator when the number of open channels is greater than one. Our design embeds a stadium billiard into a two dimensional photonic crystal realized on a Silicon-on-insulator substrate. We calculate resonances through a multiscale procedure that combines graph theory, energy landscape analysis and wavelet transforms. Experimental data is found to follow the universal predictions arising from random matrix theory with an excellent level of agreement.
We discuss experimental constraints on the free parameter of the nonextensive kinetic theory from measurements of the thermal dispersion relation in a collisionless plasma. For electrostatic plane-wave propagation, we show through a statistical analysis that a good agreement between theory and experiment is possible if the allowed values of the $q$-parameter are restricted by $q=0.77 pm 0.03$ at 95% confidence level (or equivalently, $2-q = 1.23$, in the largely adopted convention for the entropy index $q$). Such a result rules out (by a large statistical margin) the standard Bohm-Gross dispersion relation which is derived assuming that the stationary Maxwellian distribution ($q=1$) is the unperturbed solution.
We carry out an exact analysis of the average frequency $ u_{alpha x_i}^+$ in the direction $x_i$ of positive-slope crossing of a given level $alpha$ such that, $h({bf x},t)-bar{h}=alpha$, of growing surfaces in spatial dimension $d$. Here, $h({bf x},t)$ is the surface height at time $t$, and $bar{h}$ is its mean value. We analyze the problem when the surface growth dynamics is governed by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation without surface tension, in the time regime prior to appearance of cusp singularities (sharp valleys), as well as in the random deposition (RD) model. The total number $N^+$ of such level-crossings with positive slope in all the directions is then shown to scale with time as $t^{d/2}$ for both the KPZ equation and the RD model.
The study of correlated time-series is ubiquitous in statistical analysis, and the matrix decomposition of the cross-correlations between time series is a universal tool to extract the principal patterns of behavior in a wide range of complex systems. Despite this fact, no general result is known for the statistics of eigenvectors of the cross-correlations of correlated time-series. Here we use supersymmetric theory to provide novel analytical results that will serve as a benchmark for the study of correlated signals for a vast community of researchers.
