introduction: non-uniformity test is essentially the only required daily qc procedure in nuclear medicine practice. noise creates statistical variation or random error in a flood image. non-uniformity on the other hand does not have statistical nature and may be regarded as systemic error. the present methods of non-uniformity calculation do not distinguish between these two types of error. the...

The testing of high-dimensional normality is an important issue and has been intensively studied in the literature, it depends on variance–covariance matrix sample numerous methods have proposed to reduce its complexity. Principle component analysis (PCA) widely used high dimensions, since can project data into a lower-dimensional orthogonal space. reduced then be evaluated by Jarque–Bera (JB) ...

Goodness-of-Fit (GoF) based spectrum sensing of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals is investigated in this paper. To this end, some novel local sensing methods based on Shapiro-Wilk (SW), Shapiro-Francia (SF), and Jarque-Bera (JB) tests are first studied. In essence, a new threshold selection technique is proposed for SF and SW tests. Then, three studied methods are appli...

Several graphical methods for testing univariate composite normality from an i.i.d. sample are presented. They are endowed with correct simultaneous error bounds and yield size-correct tests. As all are based on the empirical CDF, they are also consistent for all alternatives. For one test, called the modified stabilized probability test, or MSP, a highly simplified computational method is deri...

We address the problem of recognizing α-stable Lévy distribution with Lévy index close to 2 from experimental data. We are interested in the case when the sample size of available data is not large, thus the power law asymptotics of the distribution is not clearly detectable, and the shape of the empirical probability density function is close to a Gaussian. We propose a testing procedure combi...

Four sets of experimental data were investigated in terms of normal distribution and presence of outliers. The following sets of compound were investigated: blood-brain barrier partitioning (n=105), inhibitory activity of para-substituted aromatic sulfonamides (n=47), inhibition activity of taxoids (n=63), and estrogen receptor binding affinity of triphenilacrylonitriles (n=25). The normality o...
