In this article, computer-generated random sequences were submitted to a Fourier analysis, and ideal noise patterns were obtained, which were analyzed statistically, but the distribution of the phase angle was not uniform over the circle and some Bald patches remained.
Abstract
Computer-generated random sequences were submitted to a Fourier analysis. The distribution of the phase angle was not uniform over the circle, but some “bald patches” remained. The Fourier analysis itself allows the construction of ideal random sequences. For an “ideal white noise” the amplitudes were chosen as one, whereas the phase angles were uniformly distributed. For an “ideal random noise” both phase angles and amplitudes were uniformly distributed. Thus, ideal noise patterns were obtained which were analysed statistically.

Selected Chapters on Active Galactic Nuclei as Relativistic Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of selected aspects of physical processes occurring in the inner regions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the observational evidence suggests that strong gravitational fields play a significant role in governing the energy output of AGN and their influence on the surrounding medium.

Random Noise Generation Using Fourier Series

TL;DR: The authors hypothesized that a Gaussian “ideal white noise pattern” could be synthesized, using the Fourier series, by summing harmonic sinusoids with constant amplitudes and random phase angles drawn from a uniform distribution.

Applications of the solution to the Rayleigh problem

TL;DR: In this paper, a formalism to determine the probability density function (PDF) resulting from a coordinate transformation applied to an arbitrary PDF is developed, specifically the transformation from spherical to Cartesian coordinates.

OUP accepted manuscript

TL;DR: In this article , a power spectral density analysis (scPSD) pre-processing method was proposed to enhance the accuracy for cell subtype separation from large-scale single-cell omics data.

Empirical Spectral Analysis of Random Number Generators

TL;DR: The theory for the Empirical Spectral Test (EST) is developed, a class of tests of spatial uniformity based on a multi-dimensional Fourier transform of the empirical probability density function that can be applied to sequences from any random number generator, can be adapted to specific user requirements and has the added advantage that its computational complexity is relatively independent of the number of data points being tested.

An Analysis of Variance Test for Normality (Complete Samples)

S. S. Shapiro, +1 more

TL;DR: In this article, a new statistical procedure for testing a complete sample for normality is introduced, which is obtained by dividing the square of an appropriate linear combination of the sample order statistics by the usual symmetric estimate of variance.

A Convenient Method for Generating Normal Variables

George Marsaglia, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1964 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a normal random variable X may be generated in terms of uniform random variables (i.e., X = 2(u_1+ u_2 + u_3 - 1.5) ), in 86 percent of the time.
