Truncated Gaussian distribution

Second, we will consider that the degree of correlation between the fluctuating bilayers depends on their separation distance, with total correlation as z — - 0 and no correlation as z - °o. This provides an asymmetric distribution (Figure lb), which will be described using an asymmetry coefficient a in a truncated Gaussian distribution...

The free energy is computed via minimization, by using the truncated Gaussian distribution in eq 10. 

A profile for CO2 source distribution was constructed by assuming a net canopy assimilation of 40 /j,mol m s and a soil respiration of 10 /xmol m s , with the canopy CO2 source density 4> having a truncated Gaussian distribution in height. The dispersion matrix was based on the same assumptions as used in Figure 1, with u, = 0.3 ms . Reference concentrations (at twice the canopy height) were taken as q = 360 /Ltmol mol and... 

To satisfy this condition, the Gaussian distribution should be multiplied by the factor 2/[l + erf B/fTg, i2 )] [121] consequently, the isothemi Eq. (54) should be also multiplied by this factor. This factor is negligible for 5/2.3because the erf function is close to unity. Another disadvantage of the truncated Gaussian distribution (i.e., Eq. (53) a 0) is its nonzero value for 5 = 0, which is physically unrealistic 5 = 0 implies that the micropore dimension x = 0 and then the distribution function should be equal to zero [122]. Stoeckli et al. [123-125] and Dubinin [115, 126] showed tliat Eq. (54) gives a good representation of many adsorption isotherms on active carbons. 

If the random variable is known to lie within the interval [a, b with given mean p. and variance the maximum entropy solution will be a truncated Gaussian distribution ... 

Gram-Charlier Series This is an infinite series whose coefficients involve the Gaussian distribution and its derivatives (Kendall, Advanced Theory of Statistics, vol. 1, Griffin, 1958). The derivatives, in turn, are expressed in terms of the moments. The series truncated at the coefficient involving the fourth moment is... 

Under specific circumstances, alternative forms for ks j have been proposed like the parabolic or the truncated Gaussian probability distribution function for example [154].

Evaluate the average on the left of Eq. (5.18) assuming a gaussian distribution for the random variable x, thereby establishing that the cumulant series truncated at second order is correct for a gaussian distribution. 

This function formally does not impose the assumption of the constant gradient of the focusing forces however, if truncated, it can be applied only in the near vicinity of the focusing position Xmaxj, thus for narrow zones. By retaining only the first term of the series, this function is reduced to Gaussian distribution. 

An additional issue in the development of the density functional theory is the parameterization of the trial function for the one-body density. Early applications followed the Kirkwood-Monroe [17,18] idea of using a Fourier expansion [115-117,133]. More recent work has used a Gaussian distribution centered about each lattice site [122]. It is believed that the latter approach removes questions about the influence of truncating the Fourier expansion upon the DFT results, although departures from Gaussian shape in the one-body density can also be important as has been demonstrated in computer simulations [134,135]. 

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.
