Estimating small signals by using maximum likelihood and poisson statistics
Mark Hannam,William J. Thompson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used maximum likelihood estimation for counting experiments with background larger than signals to estimate signal strength and confidence levels, and compared Poisson, Gauss and least-squares fitting methods.

On the Validity of the Poisson Hypothesis for Low-Level Counting; Investigation of the Distributional Characteristics of Background Radiation with the NIST Individual Pulse Counting System
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the empirical distribution of the background radiation, in a manner similar to the previous empirical distribution studies of radioactive decay, and found that individual empirical pulse distributions differed from the ideal GM and Poisson processes by exhibiting giant pulses, a continuum of small pulses, afterpulses, and bursts of pulses and transient relaxation processes.

Counting statistics of short-lived nuclides*
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generalized the Poisson formula for counting statistics to the situation where the radioactive source studied, with mean lifetime 1/λ, decays apprecialy during the total time of observation T. The deviation from the simple Poisson law, which neglects decay, depends essentially on the quantity ν=λ·T.

A cross-layer mobility handover scheme for IPv6-based vehicular networks
TL;DR: The performance of the proposed cross-layer mobility handover scheme for IPv6-based vehicular networks is evaluated, and the data results show that this scheme shortens the handover delay and lowers the packet loss rate.
Tomographic Reconstruction beyond Classical X-ray CT
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss three problems: reconstruction from incoherent measurements of a beating heart, automatic path planning enabling optimal patient-specific sensor trajectories, and X-ray scattering tomography yielding information about sub-voxel structures.

Do radioactive decay events follow a random poisson-exponential?
TL;DR: A series of 250,000 disintegration time intervals examined statistically was found to depart significantly from the Poisson-exponential distribution as mentioned in this paper, and the character of the discrepancy suggested possible instrumental error.
