... The test statistic used for detection is a special case of a function of random variables. ... Important examples of the test statistics are signal variances . ... Usually, the test statistics S in TSA measure a ratio of two variances. ... Since models depend on frequency (or time lag l ), so do the variances and and test statistics S . The statistics we recommend for use in the frequency domain are the ones introduced by Scargle and the Analysis of Variance (AOV) statistics. ...
