High-Order Spectral Method of Density Estimation for Stochastic Differential Equation Driven by Multivariate Gaussian Random Variables by Hongling Xie

“…In this paper, we propose a high-order algorithm of gPC-based density estimation where SPDE driven by multivariate Gaussian random variables. Our main techniques are (1) we build a new multivariate orthogonal basis by adopting the Gauss–Schmidt orthogonalization; (2) with the newly constructed orthogonal basis in hand, we first assume the unknown function in the SPDE has the stochastic general polynomial chaos (gPC) expansion, second implement the stochastic gPC expansion for the SPDE in the multivariate Gaussian measure space, and third we obtain and numerical calculation deterministic differential equations for the coefficients of the expansion; (3) we used high-order algorithm of gPC-based for density estimation and moment estimation. …”
