This paper proposes a method to identify non-Gaussian random noise in an unknown system through the use of a modified system identification (ID) technique in the stochastic domain, which is based on a recently developed Gaussian system ID. The non-Gaussian random process is approximated via an equivalent Gaussian approach. A modified Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov equation based on a non-Gaussian analysis technique is adopted to utilize an effective Gaussian random process that represents an implied non-Gaussian random process. When a system under non-Gaussian random noise reveals stationary moment output, the system parameters can be extracted via symbolic computation. Monte Carlo stochastic simulations are conducted to reveal some approximate results, which are close to the actual values of the system parameters.

A Gaussian process is usually used to model the sea surface elevation in the oceanography. As the depth of the water decreases or the sea severity increases, the sea surface elevation departs from symmetry and Gaussianity. In this paper, a stationary non-Gaussian random process called the generalized hyperbolic process is used as an alternative model. The process generates a family of processes. We derive the rate of up-crossings for this process and the distribution of the height of the process. We also derive the duration distribution of an excursion for the generalized hyperbolic process.

The generation of non-Gaussian random processes with a given autocorrelation function (ACF) is addressed. The generation is based on a compound process with two components. Both components are solutions of appropriate stochastic differential equations (SDEs). One of the components is a Gaussian process and the other one is non-Gaussian with an exponential ACF. The analytical study shows that a compound combination of these processes may be used for the generation of a non-Gaussian random process with a required ACF. The results are verified by two numerical examples.

Abstract We investigate whether a Gaussian likelihood is sufficient to obtain accurate parameter constraints from a Euclid-like combined tomographic power spectrum analysis of weak lensing, galaxy clustering and their cross-correlation. Testing its performance on the full sky against the Wishart distribution, which is the exact likelihood under the assumption of Gaussian fields, we find that the Gaussian likelihood returns accurate parameter constraints. This accuracy is robust to the choices made in the likelihood analysis, including the choice of fiducial cosmology, the range of scales included, and the random noise level. We extend our results to the cut sky by evaluating the additional non-Gaussianity of the joint cut-sky likelihood in both its marginal distributions and dependence structure. We find that the cut-sky likelihood is more non-Gaussian than the full-sky likelihood, but at a level insufficient to introduce significant inaccuracy into parameter constraints obtained using the Gaussian likelihood. Our results should not be affected by the assumption of Gaussian fields, as this approximation only becomes inaccurate on small scales, which in turn corresponds to the limit in which any non-Gaussianity of the likelihood becomes negligible. We nevertheless compare against N-body weak lensing simulations and find no evidence of significant additional non-Gaussianity in the likelihood. Our results indicate that a Gaussian likelihood will be sufficient for robust parameter constraints with power spectra from Stage IV weak lensing surveys.

With the development of science and technology, target tracking was applied to many aspects of people's life, such as missile navigation, tanks localization, the plot monitoring system, robot field operation. Particle filter method dealing with the nonlinear and non-Gaussian system was widely used due to the complexity of the actual environment. This paper uses the resampling technology to reduce the particle degradation appeared in our test. Meanwhile, it compared particle filter with Kalman filter to observe their accuracy .The experiment results show that particle filter is more suitable for complex scene, so particle filter is more practical and feasible on target tracking.
