Higher Criticism Statistic: Theory and Applications in Cosmology and Astronomy Jiashun Jin Department of Statistics Purdue University October 2, 2005 Abstract Higher Criticism is a recent statistic proposed by Donoho and Jin [1] where it has been shown to be effective at resolving a very subtle testing problem: test whether n normal means are all zero versus the alternative that a small fraction is non-zero. Higher Criticism is also useful for non-Gaussian detection. ... 2004). ...
