Abstract: Improved №З2 statistics are defined for both Poisson and multinomial data sets. ...

... 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. ...

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

A comparative study of type I and type II supernovae . ... Sternberg State Astronomical Institute, Moscow, U.S.S.R. (Received 26 November, 1985) . ... No significant difference between SNe I and SNe II has been found in their radial distribution and frequency of outbursts in spiral galaxies. ... The radial distribution of type Ia SNe in spiral galaxies is only slightly steeper than the one for SNe II, while SNe Ib/c are more concentrated towards the central regions. ...

The velocity and mass distribution of clusters of galaxies from the CNOC1 cluster redshift survey . ... The resulting sample is ideally suited for an analysis of the internal velocity and mass distribution of clusters. Previous analyses of this dataset used the Jeans equation to model the projected velocity dispersion profile. However, the results of such an analysis always yield a strong degeneracy between the mass density profile and the velocity dispersion anisotropy profile. ...

... It is found that the metallisity distribution of disk stars has a gap which subdivide the disk population into two groups. The distribution may be described by the sum of two normal curves which are centered at [Fe/H]=-0.22 and +0.08. The curves can be interpreted as distributions of random errors in metallisity of sample stars. This leads to the conclusion that all stars in each group have actually the same value of [Fe/H]. ...

... arXiv.org . ... Although great progress has been made in modelling the disk with radiative transfer models able to reproduce the spectral energy distribution (SED) of Herbig Ae stars, the constraints brought by images have not been yet fully exploited. Here, we are interested in checking if these new observational imaging constraints can be accounted for by predictions based on existing models of passive centrally irradiated hydrostatic disks made to fit the SEDs of the Herbig Ae stars. ...

... First, we computed the mean errors of orbit parameters on the assumption of the linear connection of them with observation errors and then we compared obtained estimates with those resulting from the assumption of the nonlinearity of this connection. Secondly, we correlate orbital parameters and their errors obtained by the method of the least modulus with those obtained by the least-squares method. ...

While the traditional statistics of impact craters allow us to determine the cumulative meteoroid flux on the lunar surface, the recent successful identification of fresh craters in orbital imagery has the potential to directly measure the cratering rate of today. Time-resolved recordings, e.g., seismic data of impacts and impact flash detections clearly demonstrate variations of the impact flux during the lunar day. ...
