A global statistical χ2 analysis of all electroweak data including new data on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and the b → Xsγ decay rate in both the SM and the MSSM has been performed. The total χ2 of the MSSM is better than in the SM, mainly because of the W -mass and aμ, although the total probability is similar in both models due to the larger number of parameters in the MSSM. In ...

We demonstrate second order optical nonlinearity in a silicon architecture through heterogeneous integration of single-crystalline gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon (100) substrates. By engineering GaN microrings for dual resonance around 1560 nm and 780 nm, we achieve efficient, tunable second harmonic generation at 780 nm. The χ2 nonlinear susceptibility is measured to be as high as 16 ± 7 pm/...

In this paper we develop the idea introduced by Lipovetski and Conklin in 2002 of considering a pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) as a contingency table. Instead of focusing on outliers detection, we use the χ2 value as an index to evaluate the deviation of a pairwise comparison matrix from consistency. We verify by means of numerical simulations that our new index satisfies a set of five proper...

This article shows that when applied to nonstationary time series, the conventional Regression Error Specification Test (RESET) leads to severe size distortion and its asymptotic distribution involves a mixture of noncentral χ2 distributions. Nonstationarity introduces bias terms in the limit distribution, and appropriate corrections for the bias are presented leading to a modified RESET test t...

Steganography is the branch of information hiding for secret communication. The simplest and widely used steganography is the LSB based approach due to its visual quality with high embedding capacity. However, LSB based steganography techniques are not secure against statistical steganalysis mainly χ2 attack and Regular Singular (RS) attack. These two staganalysis can easily estimate the hidden...

We present a QCD sum rule calculation of the spin-symmetry violating universal function χ2(v · v′), which appears at order 1/mQ in the heavy quark expansion of meson form factors. This function vanishes in the standard approximation, where radiative effects are neglected. For the first time, the complete set of diagrams arising at order αs is evaluated. In particular, we find χ2(1) = −(3.8± 0.4...
