Compared to the maximum entropy method, StochS does not have explicit parameters, and one would expect the results to be unbiased. We present a very efficient algorithm for performing StochS and use it to study the effect of the discretization grid. Surprisingly, we find that the grid affects the results of StochS acting as an implicit default model. We provide a recipe for choosing a reliable StochS grid.To reduce the effect of the grid, we extend StochS into a gridless method (gStochS) by sampling the grid points from a default model instead of having them fixed. The effect of the default model is much reduced in gStochS compared to StochS and depends mainly on its width rather than its shape. The proper width can then be chosen using a simple recipe like we did in StochS.Finally, to avoid fixing the width, we go one step further and extend gStochS to sample over a whole class of default models with different widths. The extended method (eStochS) is then able to automatically relocate the grid points and concentrate them in the important region. Test cases show that eStochS gives good results resolving sharp features in the spectrum without the need for fine tuning a default model. 000840299 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-511$$a511 - Computational Science and Mathematical Methods (POF3-511)$$cPOF3-511$$fPOF III$$x0 000840299 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)AICES-AACHEN-20170406$$aAICES Aachen Institute for Advanced Study in Computational Engineering Science (AICES-AACHEN-20170406)$$cAICES-AACHEN-20170406$$x1 000840299 8564_ $$uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.18154/RWTH-2017-06704 000840299 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/840299/files/696208.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000840299 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/840299/files/696208.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 000840299 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/840299/files/696208.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 000840299 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/840299/files/696208.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000840299 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/840299/files/696208.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000840299 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:840299$$pdnbdelivery$$pVDB$$pdriver$$popen_access$$popenaire 000840299 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)168540$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 000840299 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-511$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-510$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lSupercomputing & Big Data$$vComputational Science and Mathematical Methods$$x0 000840299 9141_ $$y2017 000840299 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000840299 920__ $$lyes 000840299 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406$$kJSC$$lJülich Supercomputing Center$$x0 000840299 980__ $$aphd 000840299 980__ $$aVDB 000840299 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000840299 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406 000840299 9801_ $$aFullTexts
