Understanding the performance of software is complicated. For several performance metrics, in addition to the algorithmic complexity, one must also consider the dynamics of running a program within different combinations of hardware and software environments. Such dynamical aspects are not visible from the code alone, and any kind of static analysis falls short. For example, in reality, the...

Data-based analysis of extreme events : inference, numerics and applications

Kaiser, Olga ; Horenko, Illia (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2015 ; 2015INFO002.

The concept of extreme events describes the above average behavior of a process, for instance, heat waves in climate or weather research, earthquakes in geology and financial crashes in economics. It is significant to study the behavior of extremes, in order to reduce their negative impacts. Key objectives include the identification of the appropriate mathematical/statistical model, description...
