Autocorrelation functions standard deviation

It can be shown [4] that the innovations of a correct filter model applied on data with Gaussian noise follows a Gaussian distribution with a mean value equal to zero and a standard deviation equal to the experimental error. A model error means that the design vector h in the measurement equation is not adequate. If, for instance, in the calibration example the model was quadratic, should be [1 c(j) c(j) ] instead of [1 c(j)]. In the MCA example h (/) is wrong if the absorptivities of some absorbing species are not included. Any error in the design vector appears by a non-zero mean for the innovation [4]. One also expects the sequence of the innovation to be random and uncorrelated. This can be checked by an investigation of the autocorrelation function (see Section 20.3) of the innovation.

The set of measurements of the concentrations of the species in S,- is obtained as a function of the externally controlled concentrations of the species Ii and I2 at each of the selected time points. Figure 7.2 is a plot of the time series for each of the species in this system. One time point is taken every 10 s for 3,600 s. The effects of using a much smaller set of observations are discussed later. The first two plots are the time series for the two externally controlled inputs. The concentrations of Ii and I2 at each time point are chosen from a truncated Gaussian (normal) distribution centered at 30 concentration units with a standard deviation of 30 units. The distribution is truncated at zero concentration. The choice of Gaussian noise guarantees that in the long time limit the entire state-space of the two inputs is sampled and that there are no autocorrelations or cross-correlations between the input species. Thus all concentration correlations arise from the reaction mechanism. The bottom five times series are the responses of the species S3 to S7 to the concentration variations of the inputs. 

The methods used for expressing the data fall into two categories, time domain techniques and frequency domain techniques. The two methods are related because frequency and time are the reciprocals of each other. The analysis technique influences the data requirements. Reference 9 provides a brief overview of the various mathematical methods and a multitude of additional references. Specialized transforms (Fourier) can be used to transfer information between the two domains. Time domain measures include the normal statistical measures such as mean, variance, third moment, skewness, fourth moment, kurto-sis, standard deviation, coefficient of variance, and root mean squEire eis well as an additional parameter, the ratio of the standard deviation to the root mean square vtJue of the current (when measuring current noise) used in place of the coefficient of variance because the mean could be zero. An additional time domain measure that can describe the degree of randonmess is the autocorrelation function of the voltage or current signal. The main frequency domain...

Two parallel simulations for 108 particles interacting with Lennard-Jones plus Axllrod-Teller potentials have been performed. The first calculation utilized the CMD method in which the forces were explicitly evaluated at each time step. In the second run the two body forces were determined in the standard way and the LMTS method described above was applied to the three body forces. Both runs were started from the same initial particle positions and velocities and both were continued for 1650 time steps. A comparison of the properties obtained from the two calculations is given in Table 1. In addition to the properties listed in Table I, radial distribution functions, velocity, speed, and force autocorrelation functions, and atomic mean squared displacements (from which diffusion coefficients were obtained) were calculated. For all of these properties, the LMTS values were within 0.1% of the values obtained by the CMD method. Figure 4 shows the per cent deviation in the instantaneous total energy of the two calculations.
