Null events and stochastical independence

Giulianella Colleti, Romano Scozzafava (1998)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper we point out the lack of the classical definitions of stochastical independence (particularly with respect to events of 0 and 1 probability) and then we propose a definition that agrees with all the classical ones when the probabilities of the relevant events are both different from 0 and 1, but that is able to focus the actual stochastical independence also in these extreme cases. Therefore this definition avoids inconsistencies such as the possibility that an event A ...

Gravitational waves from coalescing binaries: a hierarchical signal detection strategy

S. Mohanty, S. Dhurandhar (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The detection of gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries would be a computationally intensive process if a single bank of template waveforms (i.e., a one step search) is used. We present, in this paper, an alternative method which is a hierarchical search strategy involving two template banks. We show that the computational power required by such a two step search, for an on-line detection of the one parameter family of Newtonian signals, is 1/8 of that required when an...
