The choice of the best-suited statistical distribution for modeling data is not a trivial issue. Unless a sound theoretical background exists for selecting a particular distribution, one will usually resort to testing various candidates and select a distribution based on its fit to the observed data. While this is a legitimate strategy, it is more objective and efficient to define a sufficientl...

In this paper, the cross-correlation distribution between a p-ary m-sequence s(t) and its p + 1 distinct decimated sequences s(dt + l) is derived. For an odd prime p, an even integer n, and d = pk + 1 with gcd(n, k) = 1, there are p + 1 distinct decimated sequences s(dt + l), 0 ≤ l < p + 1, for a p-ary m-sequence s(t) of period pn − 1 because gcd(d, pn − 1) = p + 1. The maximum magnitude of the...

For an odd prime p, an even integer n, and d = p + 1 with gcd(n, k) = 1, there are p + 1 distinct decimated sequences s(dt + l), 0 ≤ l < p + 1, for a p-ary m-sequence s(t) of period p − 1 since gcd(d, p − 1) = p + 1. In this paper, the cross-correlation distribution between a p-ary m-sequence s(t) and its p+1 distinct decimated sequences s(dt+l) is derived. The maximum magnitude of their cross-...
