Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has a pivotal role as a remote imaging method. Obtained by means of coherent illumination, SAR images are contaminated with speckle noise. The statistical modelling of such contamination is well described according the multiplicative model and its implied G distribution. The understanding of SAR imagery and scene element identification is an important objective in...

This paper introduces the two-sample Anderson-Darling (AD) test of goodness of fit as a tool for comparing distributions, response time distributions in particular. We discuss the problematic use of pooling response times across participants, and alternative tests of distributions, the most common being the Kolmogorov-Smirnoff (KS) test. We compare the KS test and the AD test, presenting conclu...

We present an updated analysis of the solar neutrino problem in terms of both Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) and vacuum neutrino oscillations , with the inclusion of the preliminary data collected by the Su-perKamiokande experiment during 306.3 days of operation. In particular, the observed energy spectrum of the recoil electrons from 8 B neutrino scattering is discussed in detail and is us...

We give a characterization of the ranges of real Smirnov functions. In addition, we discuss the valence of such functions.
