In this paper we will consider the problem of the numerical simulation of non-Gaussian, scalar random fields with a prescribed correlation structure provided either by a theoretical model or computed on a set of observational data. Although, the numerical generation of a generic, non-Gaussian random field is a trivial operation, the task becomes tough when constraining the field with a prefixed correlation structure. At this regards, three numerical methods, useful for astronomical applications, are presented. The limits and capabilities of each method are discussed and the pseudo-codes describing the numerical implementation are provided for two of them.

We derive exact asymptotics of $$mathbb{P}left(sup_{tin mathcal{A}}X(t)>uright), ~text{as}~ utoinfty,$$ for a centered Gaussian field $X(t),~tin mathcal{A}subsetmathbb{R}^n$, $n>1$ with continuous sample paths a.s. and general dependence structure, f
or which $arg max_{tin {mathcal{A}}} Var(X(t))$ is a Jordan set with finite and positive Lebesque measure of dimension $kleq n$. Our findings are applied to deriving the asymptotics of tail probabilities related to performance tables and dependent chi processes.
This paper presents a new framework for oriented texture modeling. We introduce a new class of Gaussian fields, called Locally Anisotropic Fractional Brownian Fields, with prescribed local orientation at any point. These fields are a local version of
a specific class of anisotropic self-similar Gaussian fields with stationary increments. The simulation of such textures is obtained using a new algorithm mixing the tangent field formulation and a turning band method, this latter method having proved its efficiency for generating stationary anisotropic textures. Numerical experiments show the ability of the method for synthesis of textures with prescribed local orientation.
In this paper, we propose a new estimation procedure for discovering the structure of Gaussian Markov random fields (MRFs) with false discovery rate (FDR) control, making use of the sorted l1-norm (SL1) regularization. A Gaussian MRF is an acyclic gr
aph representing a multivariate Gaussian distribution, where nodes are random variables and edges represent the conditional dependence between the connected nodes. Since it is possible to learn the edge structure of Gaussian MRFs directly from data, Gaussian MRFs provide an excellent way to understand complex data by revealing the dependence structure among many inputs features, such as genes, sensors, users, documents, etc. In learning the graphical structure of Gaussian MRFs, it is desired to discover the actual edges of the underlying but unknown probabilistic graphical model-it becomes more complicated when the number of random variables (features) p increases, compared to the number of data points n. In particular, when p >> n, it is statistically unavoidable for any estimation procedure to include false edges. Therefore, there have been many trials to reduce the false detection of edges, in particular, using different types of regularization on the learning parameters. Our method makes use of the SL1 regularization, introduced recently for model selection in linear regression. We focus on the benefit of SL1 regularization that it can be used to control the FDR of detecting important random variables. Adapting SL1 for probabilistic graphical models, we show that SL1 can be used for the structure learning of Gaussian MRFs using our suggested procedure nsSLOPE (neighborhood selection Sorted L-One Penalized Estimation), controlling the FDR of detecting edges.
Insight into a number of interesting questions in cosmology can be obtained from the first crossing distributions of physically motivated barriers by random walks with correlated steps. We write the first crossing distribution as a formal series, ord
ered by the number of times a walk upcrosses the barrier. Since the fraction of walks with many upcrossings is negligible if the walk has not taken many steps, the leading order term in this series is the most relevant for understanding the massive objects of most interest in cosmology. This first term only requires knowledge of the bivariate distribution of the walk height and slope, and provides an excellent approximation to the first crossing distribution for all barriers and smoothing filters of current interest. We show that this simplicity survives when extending the approach to the case of non-Gaussian random fields. For non-Gaussian fields which are obtained by deterministic transformations of a Gaussian, the first crossing distribution is simply related to that for Gaussian walks crossing a suitably rescaled barrier. Our analysis shows that this is a useful way to think of the generic case as well. Although our study is motivated by the possibility that the primordial fluctuation field was non-Gaussian, our results are general. In particular, they do not assume the non-Gaussianity is small, so they may be viewed as the solution to an excursion set analysis of the late-time, nonlinear fluctuation field rather than the initial one. They are also useful for models in which the barrier height is determined by quantities other than the initial density, since most other physically motivated variables (such as the shear) are usually stochastic and non-Gaussian. We use the Lognormal transformation to illustrate some of our arguments.
We study the distribution of extensions of a number field $k$ with fixed abelian Galois group $G$, from which a given finite set of elements of $k$ are norms. In particular, we show the existence of such extensions. Along the way, we show that the Ha
sse norm principle holds for $100%$ of $G$-extensions of $k$, when ordered by conductor. The appendix contains an alternative purely geometric proof of our existence result.
