title: Volatility and Dependence Models with Applications to U.S. Equity Markets
Creators: name: Pan, Jingwei
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2021

description: The dissertation consists of three studies concerning the research fields of evaluating volatility and correlation forecasts as well as modeling of tail dependence. Based on theoretical discussions and empirical studies the methods for modeling the time-varying volatilities and dependence for the financial market data are evaluated. The first study evaluates the volatility forecasts with the basic generalized conditional autoregressive heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model and its asymmetric extensions. The concepts of loss function and model confidence set (MCS) are introduced. The realized volatility is used as benchmark. The main results of Brownlees et al. (2011) can be confirmed and extended. In particular, the one-step forecasts achieve significantly lower average losses than the multi-step forecasts in times of crises. The difference between the one-step and the multi-step forecasts in pre-crisis times is relatively small. The evaluation results demonstrate the strong forecasting performance of the asymmetric model variants. The second study evaluates the multivariate correlation forecasts. The Baba-Engle-Kraft-Kroner (BEKK) model of Engle and Kroner (1995) is compared with the dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model of Engle (2002). Using a two-stage estimation method, the DCC model is well suited for large correlation matrices. In contrast, the more flexible BEKK model suffers from the curse of dimensionality. The evaluation is based on the class of asymmetric loss functions proposed by Komunjer and Owyang (2012). The results show that the BEKK model cannot better predict the correlations than the simpler DCC model in the trivariate system. Therefore, the application of the DCC model appears to be superior. The third study leads to a flexible approach which separates the univariate marginal distributions from the joint distribution. The different copula functions are presented and the corresponding tail dependence is calculated. The empirical analysis compares different copula functions with a non-parametric approach and three time-dependent approaches. The results show noticeable reactions of tail dependence to the major financial market events. In addition, the lower tail dependence dominates over time. This can be interpreted in a way that joint losses occur more frequently than joint gains.

description: The Solar X-ray Monitor (abbreviated as XSM) on board India's Chandrayaan-2 mission is designed to carry out broadband spectroscopy of the Sun from lunar orbit. It observes the Sun as a star and measures the spectrum every second in the soft X-ray band of 1 - 15 keV with an energy resolution better than 180 eV at 5.9 keV. The primary objective of the XSM is to provide the incident solar spectrum for the X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy experiment on the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, which aims to generate elemental abundance maps of the lunar surface. However, observations with the XSM can independently be used to study the Sun as well. The Chandrayaan-2 mission was launched on 22 July 2019, and the XSM began nominal operations, in lunar orbit, from September 2019. The in-flight observations, so far, have shown that its spectral performance has been identical to that on the ground. Measurements of the effective area from ground calibration were found to require some refinement, which has been carried out using solar observations at different incident angles. It also has been shown that the XSM is sensitive enough to detect solar activity well below A-class. This makes the investigations of microflares and the quiet solar corona feasible in addition to the study of the evolution of physical parameters during intense flares. This article presents the in-flight performance and calibration of the XSM instrument and discusses some specific science cases that can be addressed using observations with the XSM.

description: Programs involving discontinuities introduced by control flow constructs such as conditional branches pose challenges to mathematical optimization methods that assume a degree of smoothness in the objective function's response surface. Smooth interpretation (SI) is a form of abstract interpretation that approximates the convolution of a program's output with a Gaussian kernel, thus smoothing its output in a principled manner. Here, we combine SI with automatic differentiation (AD) to efficiently compute gradients of smoothed programs. In contrast to AD across a regular program execution, these gradients also capture the effects of alternative control flow paths. The combination of SI with AD enables the direct gradient-based parameter synthesis for branching programs, allowing for instance the calibration of simulation models or their combination with neural network models in machine learning pipelines. We detail the effects of the approximations made for tractability in SI and propose a novel Monte Carlo estimator that avoids the underlying assumptions by estimating the smoothed programs' gradients through a combination of AD and sampling. Using DiscoGrad, our tool for automatically translating simple C++ programs to a smooth differentiable form, we perform an extensive evaluation. We compare the combination of SI with AD and our Monte Carlo estimator to existing gradient-free and stochastic methods on four non-trivial and originally discontinuous problems ranging from classical simulation-based optimization to neural network-driven control. While the optimization progress with the SI-based estimator depends on the complexity of the program's control flow, our Monte Carlo estimator is competitive in all problems, exhibiting the fastest convergence by a substantial margin in our highest-dimensional problem.

Modelling a two-species interaction in a high intertidal algal community
Creators: name: Grabovac, Nickolas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study is an approach to simulating the population dynamics and species interactions in an intertidal algal community. The community being modelled is located in Barkley Sound, Vancouver Island and consists of three dominant perennial macroalgae, Mazzaella cornucopiae, Fucus gardneri, and Pelvetiopsis limitata, as well as some ephemeral algae and invertebrates such as barnacles and limpets. Interactions between the two species Mazzaella and Fucus were simulated in order to predict their population dynamics over a two-year period. The empirical basis for the simulation models was provided by the field experiments and observations of previous researchers. In total, eight different models were created, six of them being cellular automata (CA) models and the remaining two being birth-death difference equation models. These models were tested and validated using an independent set of field data. In general, all of the models were. very poor predictors of Fucus density. Two of the models were excellent predictors of Mazzaella percent cover: a stochastic nonseasonal CA model and & Mazzaella birth-death model. The study suggests that simple, few-species models are able to predict the. dynamics of some species, even when such species interact with many other species in the community. In addition, this study serves as an example of how many of the problems associated with constructing mathematical models of ecological systems, especially CA models, can be overcome and how a greater understanding of the system of interest can be gleaned from their results.

description: Objective: The main objective of the study was to measure the association of quality of life between anxiety and depression in patients with chronic rheumatic heart disease. Methodology: Psychometric assessment (anxiety and depression) of the subjects was measured using HADS. Clinical data were collected from the Department of Cardiology OPD of Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi. A total of 500 RHD patients and 100 healthy controls were included in the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis was performed with Chi square test and ANOVA using IBM SPSS version 22. Findings: Almost 80% of the subjects were suffering from moderate RHD, and 20% were suffering from Severe RHD. Most cases of RHD were suffering from moderate anxiety and depression levels. Among all the variables of SF-36 questionnaire, only pain was only variable associated with anxiety. None of the SF-36 variables was associated with depression in patients with RHD. Conclusion: It was seen that high levels of anxiety and depression levels are present in patients with RHD. It was also observed that the high anxiety levels in the RHD patients can also be a major cause of depression in patients. The factors related to the disease like physical pain, social functioning, and general health causes high anxiety and depression in the patients when the disease prevails over a long time.

description: We investigate the nature of the phase transitions in the quantum Ashkin-Teller chain in the presence of chiral perturbations. We locate the Lifshitz line separating a region of direct chiral transitions from the region where the transition is through an intermediate floating phase. Furthermore, we identify a small region in the vicinity of the four-state Potts point where chiral perturbations are irrelevant and where the transition remains conformal. Implications to Rydberg atoms experiments are briefly discussed.

Raman-Shifted Eye-safe Aerosol LIDAR

Active remote sensors have various applications, from air pollution studies to defense uses. However, investing in new sensors can be expensive especially if the success of the instrument is not guaranteed. A relatively inexpensive alternative to field testing is numerical simulation. Our numerical simulations will model tracer releases in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL); modeling tracer atmospheric transport and dispersion (AT&D) is difficult in the ABL because this layer of the atmosphere is subject to turbulence. There are two types of numerical models which can resolve the effects of turbulence, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages: ensemble average and single realization models. Ensemble average models are computationally efficient, however, they lack resolution, while single realization models maintain a high level of resolution, yet become computationally expensive. This study focuses on comparing these two atmospheric dispersion models via diagnosing detection statistics of NCAR's Raman shifted Eye safe Aerosol LIDAR (REAL). Specifically, we are looking to answer if model type impacts conclusions on performance of the REAL. The process involved generating scenarios with the dispersion models, adding perturbations to mimic turbulence or creating multiple representations, depending on the model, and running through code representing the REAL in order to obtain detection statistics. Results are presented in terms of time, as in many defense uses, time is of the essence. It is shown that the ensemble average model has much less scatter than the single realization model, which exemplifies the effects of averaging. It also answers the question that model type does impact sensor performance.

description: Background: It is known that cognitive impairment is associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and that low BMD is also observed in elderly people with neurodegenerative diseases, in which executive functions (EF) could be decreased. A limited number of studies investigated the association between EF with BMD and fracture risk in elderly women. Aims: The aim of this study was to explore the association between cognitive impulsivity, BMD and fall risk in a sample of postmenopausal women evaluated for osteoporosis. Methods: We consecutively recruited women who obtained a score ≥ 24 at the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Cognitive impulsivity was evaluated by the Stroop Colour and Word Test (SCWT). BMD was detected by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at lumbar spine and femoral neck. Results: Cognitive impulsivity, as evidenced by the greater number of errors at the SCWT, was significantly related with BMD values at lumbar spine and femoral neck (r= -0.39, p= 0.01 and r= -0.43, p= 0.008; respectively), suggesting a neuropsychological impairment in patients assessed for osteoporosis. Moreover, interference effect on response time was significantly associated with higher prevalence of falls (r= 0.342; p= 0.031). Discussion and Conclusions: Our findings suggested a potential involvement of cognitive impulsivity on BMD and risk of fall. This is a relevant issue in clinical practice for both clinical psychologists and physicians who evaluate postmenopausal women, to eventually predict risk of fracture.

description: Recent advances in bottom-up growth are giving rise to a range of new two-dimensional nanostructures. Hall effect measurements play an important role in their electrical characterization. However, size constraints can lead to device geometries that deviate significantly from the ideal of elongated Hall bars with currentless contacts. Many devices using these new materials have a low aspect ratio and feature metal Hall probes that overlap with the semiconductor channel. This can lead to a significant distortion of the current flow. We present experimental data from InAs 2D nanofin devices with different Hall probe geometries to study the influence of Hall probe length and width. We use finite-element simulations to further understand the implications of these aspects and expand the scope to contact resistance and sample aspect ratios. Our key finding is that invasive probes lead to a significant underestimation in the measured Hall voltage, typically of the order of 40-80%. This in turn leads to a subsequent proportional overestimation of carrier concentration and an underestimation of mobility

Convection-permitting models provide useful forecast guidance on expected convective mode, but often struggle to accurately forecast timing and location for small-scale and extreme events. Additionally, with horizontal grid spacing on the order of 1-4 km, small-scale convective features and severe weather phenomena are not fully resolved, necessitating the use of severe storm proxies. In this study, a five-member Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model ensemble was used to assess the performance of probabilistic convection-permitting model guidance in forecasting severe storms that occurred on 19-20 May 2012 across the central Great Plains. Forecasts were initialized with an ensemble mesoscale analysis from the real-time NCAR WRF Data Assimilation Research Testbed (WRF-DART) ensemble data assimilation system. Model forecasts were subjectively evaluated by comparing radar observations and storm reports to model fields and severe storm proxies such as simulated reflectivity and maximum updraft helicity. Precipitation forecasts were verified against Stage IV analysis using a "neighborhood-based" approach, which has been shown to produce more representative forecast skill scores when verifying high-resolution model output. Results suggested the ensemble system produced a reliable forecast of convection that would have provided useful guidance on storm mode, location and intensity on this day. Probabilities of maximum updraft were found to be most useful for identifying locations of observed severe storm reports, while discriminating hazard types using their associated severe storm proxies was less skillful.

description: Background: Anxiety and depression disorders are common in palliative care. The impact of these disorders on quality of life and on existential concerns is strong. This research was performed to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients with advanced gynecological cancer. Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective study over a period of 2 years in 98 patients with advanced gynecological cancer. The 98 patients included in the study were divided into two categories by age (under 55 years and over 56 years). The patients were evaluated at first admission (Basic visit) and after 3 months (Follow up visit), by means of 1 questionnaire: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale – HADS. Results :The percentage of women who experience abnormal level of anxiety is: 13,73% for the first category of age (under 55years) and 12,77% for the second category of age (over 56 years) at Basic visit, while, at Follow up visit, the percentage is 15,69% for the first category of age and 19,15% for the second category of age. The percentage of women who do experience abnormal level of depression at Basic visit is 11,76% for the first category of age and 12,77% for the second category of age, while, at Follow up visit, the percentage is 9,50% for the first category of age and 25,53% for the second category of age. There is a statistical difference between Basic visit and Follow up visit in patients from the second category of age, the percentage of women who experience abnormal level of depression is increasing from 12,77% to 25,53%. Discussions and Conclusions: Anxiety and depression are reported to impact significantly on quality of life of palliative care patients with advanced gynaecological cancer. In conclusion, continuous screening for anxiety and depression is recommended as a necessary approach for patients with advanced gynaecological cancer.

KK Gravitons and Unitarity Violation in the Randall-Sundrum Model

description: We show that perturbative unitarity for $W_LW_L$ scattering places significant constraints on the Randall-Sundrum theory with two 3-branes, with matter confined to the TeV brane. The exchange of massive 4D Kaluza-Klein gravitons leads to amplitudes growing linearly with the CM energy squared. Summing over KK gravitons up to a scale $\lbar$ and testing unitarity at $\sqrt s=\lbar$, one finds that unitarity is violated for $\lbar$ below the 'naive dimensional analysis' scale, $Λ_{NDA}$. We evaluate $\lbar$ as a function of the curvature ratio $m_0/M_{Planck}$ for the pure gravity theory. We then demonstrate that unitarity need not be violated at $\lbar$ in the presence of a heavy Higgs boson. In fact, much larger Higgs masses are consistent with unitarity than if no KK gravitons are present. Observation of the mass and width (or cross section) of one or more KK gravitons at the LHC will directly determine $m_0/M_{Planck}$ and the scale $\hat Λ$ specifying the couplings of matter to the KK gravitons. With this information in hand and a measurement of the Higgs boson mass, one can determine the precise scale $\lbar$ below which unitarity will remain valid.

description: Fast, reversible, and low-power manipulation of the spin texture is crucial for next generation spintronic devices like non-volatile bipolar memories, switchable spin current injectors or spin field effect transistors. Ferroelectric Rashba semiconductors (FERSC) are the ideal class of materials for the realization of such devices. Their ferroelectric character enables an electronic control of the Rashba-type spin texture by means of the reversible and switchable polarization. Yet, only very few materials have been established to belong to this class of multifunctional materials. Here, Pb1-xGexTe is unraveled as a novel FERSC system down to nanoscale. The ferroelectric phase transition and concomitant lattice distortion is demonstrated by temperature dependent X-ray diffraction, and its effect on electronic properties are measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. In few nanometer-thick epitaxial heterostructures, a large Rashba spin-splitting is exhibiting a wide tuning range as a function of temperature and Ge content. Our work defines Pb1- xGexTe as a high-potential FERSC system for spintronic applications.

description: Aim: Grief is a common reaction to loss and it is considered a physiological and instinctive response. The "normal" grief evolves into an "integrated" phase within one year from death, and it is a non-pathological condition, that does not require specific therapeutic interventions. When this “integrated phase” does not occur, the subject could reach pathological manifestations related to the grief. The Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder (PCBD) was proposed as a new category in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition. PCBD is a new clinical category characterized by symptoms related to the detachment and to the post-traumatic distress and it differs from normal and uncomplicated grief, for the disability caused by these reactions and their persistence and pervasiveness. Method: We examined reviews and studies of different researches done in the last twenty years, concerning the issues of loss, "normal" and "complicated" mourning that led to the diagnostic category of PCBD. For this review we based our consideration starting from those pathological conditions that preceded PCBD, as “pathological”, “complicated” and “traumatic” grief. Results: PCBD results a new important clinical category showing specific symptoms, diagnostic criteria and treatment. It presents many differences with other pathologies, that goes into differencial diagnosis with PCBD, and it and can be treated with targeted therapeutic approaches. Conclusions: Diagnostic criteria for PCBD could allow an early diagnosis and a correct treatment avoiding underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. Further researches could focus on the evaluation of more neurobiological aspects, new psychometric tools, for assessing susceptibility to this pathology, and on the cultural aspects that may influence mourning reactions, in an ethno-psychiatric perspective.

description: We obtain a class of dyonic black string solutions in 6D Salam-Sezgin model. We then calculate various thermodynamic quantities associated with this solution. Interestingly, for the thermodynamic quantities to be well defined, the temperature is bounded from above. However, the mass and entropy can still grow without any upper bound, reaching infinity at the maximal temperature. The quantization condition obeyed by various charges is also analyzed. In particular, we find that the Dirac quantization condition selects one particular sign choice for the magnetic string charges.

Convection-permitting models provide useful forecast guidance on expected convective mode, but often struggle to accurately forecast timing and location for small-scale and extreme events. Additionally, with horizontal grid spacing on the order of 1-4 km, small-scale convective features and severe weather phenomena are not fully resolved, necessitating the use of severe storm proxies. In this study, a five-member Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model ensemble was used to assess the performance of probabilistic convection-permitting model guidance in forecasting severe storms that occurred on 19-20 May 2012 across the central Great Plains. Forecasts were initialized with an ensemble mesoscale analysis from the real-time NCAR WRF Data Assimilation Research Testbed (WRF-DART) ensemble data assimilation system. Model forecasts were subjectively evaluated by comparing radar observations and storm reports to model fields and severe storm proxies such as simulated reflectivity and maximum updraft helicity. Precipitation forecasts were verified against Stage IV analysis using a "neighborhood-based" approach, which has been shown to produce more representative forecast skill scores when verifying high-resolution model output. Results suggested the ensemble system produced a reliable forecast of convection that would have provided useful guidance on storm mode, location and intensity on this day. Probabilities of maximum updraft were found to be most useful for identifying locations of observed severe storm reports, while discriminating hazard types using their associated severe storm proxies was less skillful.

description: We present new HST WFC3 near-IR observations of the CMD's in two LSB galaxies, F575-3 and F615-1, notable for having no current star formation based on a lack of H$α$ emission. Key features of the near-IR CMD's are resolved, such as the red giant branch (RGB), the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) region and the top of the blue main sequence (bMS). F575-3 has the bluest RGB of any CMD in the literature, indicating an extremely low mean metallicity. F615-1 has unusually wide RGB and AGB sequences suggesting multiple episodes of star formation from metal-poor gas, possibly infalling material. Both galaxies have an unusual population of stars to the red of the RGB and lower in luminosity than typical AGB stars. These stars have normal optical colors but abnormal near-IR colors. We suggest that this population of stars might be analogous to local peculiar stars like Be stars with strong near-IR excesses owing to a surrounding disk of hot gas.

Large n limit of Gaussian random matrices with external source, Part III: Double scaling limit

description: We consider the double scaling limit in the random matrix ensemble with an external source $\frac{1}{Z_n} e^{-n \Tr({1/2}M^2 -AM)} dM$ defined on $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices, where $A$ is a diagonal matrix with two eigenvalues $\pm a$ of equal multiplicities. The value $a=1$ is critical since the eigenvalues of $M$ accumulate as $n \to \infty$ on two intervals for $a > 1$ and on one interval for $0 < a < 1$. These two cases were treated in Parts I and II, where we showed that the local eigenvalue correlations have the universal limiting behavior known from unitary random matrix ensembles. For the critical case $a=1$ new limiting behavior occurs which is described in terms of Pearcey integrals, as shown by Brézin and Hikami, and Tracy and Widom. We establish this result by applying the Deift/Zhou steepest descent method to a $3 \times 3$-matrix valued Riemann-Hilbert problem which involves the construction of a local parametrix out of Pearcey integrals. We resolve the main technical issue of matching the local Pearcey parametrix with a global outside parametrix by modifying an underlying Riemann surface.

Microscopic theory of a Janus motor in a non-equilibrium fluid: Surface hydrodynamics and boundary conditions

description: We present a derivation from first principles of the coupled equations of motion of an active self-diffusiophoretic Janus motor and the hydrodynamic densities of its fluid environment that are nonlinearly displaced from equilibrium. The derivation makes use of time-dependent projection operator techniques defined in terms of slowly varying coarse-grained microscopic densities of the fluid species number, total momentum, and energy. The exact equations of motion are simplified using time-scale arguments, resulting in Markovian equations for the Janus motor linear and angular velocities with average forces and torques that depend on the fluid densities. For a large colloid, the fluid equations are separated into bulk and interfacial contributions, and the conditions under which the dynamics of the fluid densities can be accurately represented by bulk hydrodynamic equations subject to boundary conditions on the colloid are determined. We show how the results for boundary conditions based on continuum theory can be obtained from the molecular description and provide Green-Kubo expressions for all transport coefficients, including the diffusiophoretic coupling and the slip coefficient.

description: This work concerns estimation of multidimensional nonlinear regression models using multilayer perceptron (MLP). The main problem with such model is that we have to know the covariance matrix of the noise to get optimal estimator. however we show that, if we choose as cost function the logarithm of the determinant of the empirical error covariance matrix, we get an asymptotically optimal estimator.
Pain catastrophizing in patients with painful diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy: physical activity, disability and quality of life
Creators: name: Geelen, Charlotte
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2015

description: Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (DPNP) is a complex and multi-dimensional condition, potentially having a major negative impact on daily life, both physically and mentally. Patients with DPNP often suffer from enhanced levels of anxiety, fears and depression. Pain catastrophizing has shown to have a negative impact on the level of disability in various chronic pain syndromes. Little is known about the effects of pain catastrophizing on limitations in daily life in patients with DPNP. The aim of this study is to unravel the underlying mechanisms linking pain catastrophizing to (perceived) physical activity, disability and quality of life in patients with DPNP.

In this study we show:Patients with painful DPNP who engage in catastrophic thinking experience increased disability and lesser quality of life.These associations are mediated by the feeling of loss activities in daily life rather than a decline in the actual level of physical activity.It is important to not only objectify the daily activity level of a patient with painful DPNP, but also to focus on the perceived change in a patients’ activity level.Integration of psychological aspects such as pain catastrophizing is important in the treatment of DPNP.
How the chemical composition of the pre-storm and inflow regions compare to each other and to the outflow region of deep convection in the upper troposphere [poster]

Ozone in the upper troposphere is considered a greenhouse gas, which can contribute to climate change. Convection in thunderstorms can carry ozone precursors upward from the boundary layer into the upper tropospheric region. Production of nitrogen oxides associated with lightning in the storm can also play a role in the transformation of the upper troposphere chemical composition. Data from the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) Field Campaign were used to compare pre-storm, inflow, and outflow data using four different storm events in diverse regions. Vertical profiles of ozone, its precursors, and other related compounds were used to highlight the inflow and outflow aircraft measurements in relation to pre-storm and near storm concentrations. This comparison allowed us to determine whether the pre-storm data can be used for the analysis of convective transport and scavenging of trace gases in the upper troposphere. It was found that the chemical species' concentration in the inflow didn't always match the concentration of other times in the boundary layer. Though some constituents showed similarities, there was variability among the different cases. Despite this variability, it may still be useful to incorporate pre-storm data for future studies. Comparison of the outflow data to the inflow data revealed the degree of scavenging for each constituent trace gas and aerosol for different boundary layer environments and storm types. It was found that while some species consistently either scavenged or didn't, others showed that they were scavenged in some cases but not all. For the latter situation more detailed analysis of storm location and characteristics would be beneficial.

description: We introduce C-Algebras (quantum analogues of compact Riemann surfaces), defined by polynomial relations in non-commutative variables and containing a real parameter that, when taken to zero, provides a classical non-linear, Poisson-bracket, obtainable from a single polynomial C(onstraint) function. For a continuous class of quartic constraints, we explicitly work out finite dimensional representations of the corresponding C-Algebras.

description: In both experiments and simulations the most commonly studied kind of parameter polydispersity is that of varying particles size. This paper investigates by simulations the effects of introducing polydispersity in other parameters for two-dimensional Active Brownian Particles with Yukawa pair interactions. Polydispersity is studied separately in the translational and rotational diffusion coefficients, as well as in the swim velocity $v_0$. Uniform and binary parameter distributions are considered in both the homogeneous and the motility-induced phase-separation (MIPS) phases. We find only minute changes in structure and dynamics upon the introduction of parameter polydispersity, even for situations involving 50% polydispersity. The reason for this is not clear. An exception is the case of $v_0$ polydispersity for which the average radial distribution function with changing polydispersity shows significant variations in the MIPS phase. Even in this case, however, the dynamics is only modestly affected. As a possible application of our findings, we suggest that a temporary introduction of polydispersity into a single-component active-matter model characterized by a very long equilibration time, i.e., a glass-forming active system, may be used to equilibrate the system efficiently by particle swaps.
