Large deviations of Gaussian random functions

A random function – of either one variable (a random process), or two or more variables(a random field) – is called Gaussian if every finite-dimensional distribution is a multivariate normal distribution. Gaussian random fields on the sphere are useful (for example) when analysing * the anomalies in the cosmic microwave background radiation (see, pp. 8–9); * brain images obtained by positron emission tomography (see, pp. 9–10). Sometimes, a value of a Gaussian random function deviates from its expected value by several standard deviations. This is a large deviation. Though rare in a small domain (of space or/and time), large deviations may be quite usual in a large domain. (Wikipedia).

Gaussian/Normal Distributions

In this video we discuss the Gaussian (AKA Normal) probability distribution function. We show how it relates to the error function (erf) and discuss how to use this distribution analytically and numerically (for example when analyzing real-life sensor data or performing simulation of stoc

How to find the number of standard deviations that it takes to represent all the data

👉 Learn how to find the variance and standard deviation of a set of data. The variance of a set of data is a measure of spread/variation which measures how far a set of numbers is spread out from their average value. The standard deviation of a set of data is a measure of spread/variation
