Statistical Inference for Rayleigh Distributions

The main inference problems related to t he Rayleigh distribution a re the es t imatiop of its parameter a nd the t est of t he hypothesis that a given set of observation s is from such a distr ibution . It is shown that (in case of radio signals) t he most effieient es timate of the parameter is obtain ed using t he sample mean power. Complications may a rise wh en data are missin g or a re a ...

Tidal Shocking by Extended Mass Distributions

We derive expressions for the tidal field exerted by a spherically symmetric galaxy having an extended mass distribution, and use our analysis to calculate tidal perturbations and heating of stars in a globular cluster or a satellite galaxy orbiting in the external potential. We consider a Hernquist model and several power-law models for the primary. We integrate the tidal force over accurate o...

Statistical Distributions, Second Edition

advantage of the unique capabilities of the computer to teach. The self-test segment of the program is simply a memory game, which does not focus on clinically relevant anatomy or provide a framework on how to think radiologically. In summary, while The Imaging Atlas functions appropriately, it offers few advantages over a radiographic atlas in book form. A firm grasp of statistical distributio...

Statistical distributions of pyrosequencing

Pyrosequencing is emerging as one of the important next-generation sequencing technologies. We derive the statistical distributions of this technique in terms of nucleotide probabilities of the target sequences. We give exact distributions both for fixed number of flow cycles and for fixed sequence length. Explicit formulas are derived for the mean and variance of these distributions. In both c...
