Application of root density estimator to problems of statistical data analysis is demonstrated. Four sets of basis functions based on Chebyshev-Hermite, Laguerre, Kravchuk and Charlier polynomials are considered. The sets may be used for numerical analysis in problems of reconstructing statistical distributions by experimental data. Based on the root approach to reconstruction of statistical distributions and quantum states, we study a family of statistical distributions in which the probability density is the product of a Gaussian distribution and an even-degree polynomial. Examples of numerical modeling are given. The results of present paper are of interest for the development of tomography of quantum states and processes.

We introduce a new statistical and variational approach to the phase estimation algorithm (PEA). Unlike the traditional and iterative PEAs which return only an eigenphase estimate, the proposed method can determine any unknown eigenstate-eigenphase pair from a given unitary matrix utilizing a simplified version of the hardware intended for the Iterative PEA (IPEA). This is achieved by treating the probabilistic output of an IPEA-like circuit as an eigenstate-eigenphase proximity metric, using this metric to estimate the proximity of the input state and input phase to the nearest eigenstate-eigenphase pair and approaching this pair via a variational process on the input state and phase. This method may search over the entire computational space, or can efficiently search for eigenphases (eigenstates) within some specified range (directions), allowing those with some prior knowledge of their system to search for particular solutions. We show the simulation results of the method with the Qiskit package on the IBM Q platform and on a local computer.
We propose a statistical approach to tornadoes modeling for predicting and simulating occurrences of tornadoes and accumulated cost distributions over a time interval. This is achieved by modeling the tornadoes intensity, measured with the Fujita scale, as a stochastic process. Since the Fujita scale divides tornadoes intensity into six states, it is possible to model the tornadoes intensity by using Markov and semi-Markov models. We demonstrate that the semi-Markov approach is able to reproduce the duration effect that is detected in tornadoes occurrence. The superiority of the semi-Markov model as compared to the Markov chain model is also affirmed by means of a statistical test of hypothesis. As an application we compute the expected value and the variance of the costs generated by the tornadoes over a given time interval in a given area. he paper contributes to the literature by demonstrating that semi-Markov models represent an effective tool for physical analysis of tornadoes as well as for the estimation of the economic damages to human things.
The maximum entropy principle can be used to assign utility values when only partial information is available about the decision makers preferences. In order to obtain such utility values it is necessary to establish an analogy between probability and utility through the notion of a utility density function. According to some authors [Soofi (1990), Abbas (2006a) (2006b), Sandow et al. (2006), Friedman and Sandow (2006), Darooneh (2006)] the maximum entropy utility solution embeds a large family of utility functions. In this paper we explore the maximum entropy principle to estimate the utility function of a risk averse decision maker.
The basic idea behind Rayleighs criterion on resolving two incoherent optical point sources is that the overlap between the spatial modes from different sources would reduce the estimation precision for the locations of the sources, dubbed Rayleighs curse. We generalize the concept of Rayleighs curse to the abstract problems of quantum parameter estimation with incoherent sources. To manifest the effect of Rayleighs curse on quantum parameter estimation, we define the curse matrix in terms of quantum Fisher information and introduce the global and local immunity to the curse accordingly. We further derive the expression for the curse matrix and give the necessary and sufficient condition on the immunity to Rayleighs curse. For estimating the one-dimensional location parameters with a common initial state, we demonstrate that the global immunity to the curse on quantum Fisher information is impossible for more than two sources.
We present a method to reconstruct the complete statistical mode structure and optical losses of multimode conjugated optical fields using an experimentally measured joint photon-number probability distribution. We demonstrate that this method evaluates classical and non-classical properties using a single measurement technique and is well-suited for quantum mesoscopic state characterization. We obtain a nearly-perfect reconstruction of a field comprised of up to 10 modes based on a minimal set of assumptions. To show the utility of this method, we use it to reconstruct the mode structure of an unknown bright parametric down-conversion source.
