We study the factorial moments (Fq), the factorial cumulants (Kq) and the ratio of Kq to Fq (Hq = Kq=Fq) in pp/pp collisions using an updated approach, in which the multiplicity distribution is related to the eikonal function. The QCD inspired eikonal model adopted contains contributions of quark-quark, quark-gluon and gluon-gluon interactions. Our work shows that the approach can reproduce the collision energy dependence of the Fq moments, correctly predicts that the first minimum of the Hq lies around q = 5 and qualitatively reproduces the oscillations of the Hq moments, as shown in the experimental data and predicted by QCD at preasymptotic energy. The result of this study seems to indicate that the Hq oscillations are manifestation of semihard component in the multiparticle production process. Predictions for multiplicity distribution and Hq moments at the LHC energy of 14 TeV are presented.

We derive joint factorial moment identities for point processes with Papangelou intensities. Our proof simplifies previous approaches to related moment identities and includes the setting of Poisson point processes. Applications are given to random t ransformations of point processes and to their distribution invariance properties.

The high-order cumulants and factorial cumulants of conserved charges are suggested to study the critical dynamics in heavy ion collisions. In this paper, using parametric representation of the 3-dimensional Ising model, the sign distribution on the phase diagram and temperature dependence of the cumulants and factorial cumulants is studied and compared. In the vicinity of the critical point, the cumulants and factorial cumulants can not be distinguished. Far away from the critical point, sign changes occur in the factorial cumulants comparing with the same order cumulants. The cause of these sign changes is analysed. They may be used to measure the distance to the critical point.
A search for power-law fluctuations within the framework of the intermittency method is ongoing to locate the critical point of the strongly interacting matter. In particular, experimental data on proton and pion production in heavy-ion collisions ar e analyzed in transverse-momentum, $p_T$, space. In this regard, we have studied the dependence of the second scaled factorial moment $F_2$ of particle multiplicity distribution on the number of subdivisions of transverse momentum-interval used in the analysis. The study is performed using a simple model with a power-law two-particle correlation function in $p_T$. We observe that $F_2$ values depend on the size and position of the $p_T$ interval. However, when we convert the non-uniform transverse-momentum distribution to uniform one using cumulative transformation, $F_2$ calculated in subdivisions of the cumulative $p_T$ becomes independent of the cumulative-$p_T$ interval. The scaling behaviour of $F_2$ for the cumulative variable is observed. Moreover, $F_2$ follows a power law with the number of subdivisions of the cumulative-$p_T$ interval with the intermittency index close to the correlation functions exponent.
We discuss properties and applications of factorial cumulants of various particle numbers and for their mixed channels measured by the event-by-event analysis in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. After defining the factorial cumulants for systems wi th multi-particle species, their properties are elucidated. The uses of the factorial cumulants in the study of critical fluctuations are discussed. We point out that factorial cumulants play useful roles in understanding fluctuation observables when they have underlying physics approximately described by the binomial distribution. As examples, we suggest novel utilization methods of the factorial cumulants in the study of the momentum cut and rapidity window dependences of fluctuation observables.
In this paper, we develop a parameter estimation method for factorially parametrized models such as Factorial Gaussian Mixture Model and Factorial Hidden Markov Model. Our contributions are two-fold. First, we show that the emission matrix of the sta ndard Factorial Model is unidentifiable even if the true assignment matrix is known. Secondly, we address the issue of identifiability by making a one component sharing assumption and derive a parameter learning algorithm for this case. Our approach is based on a dictionary learning problem of the form $X = O R$, where the goal is to learn the dictionary $O$ given the data matrix $X$. We argue that due to the specific structure of the activation matrix $R$ in the shared component factorial mixture model, and an incoherence assumption on the shared component, it is possible to extract the columns of the $O$ matrix without the need for alternating between the estimation of $O$ and $R$.
