Abstract Characterization of SiPMs is an objective high importance in almost any research, development, and application these unique photon detectors. Two decades characterization method developments resulted a comprehensive elegant methodology based on precisely resolved number fired SiPM cells or the spectrum. Spectrum fitting procedures are very sensitive to proper selection many initial gue...

The thermodynamic uncertainty relation is a prominent result in stochastic thermodynamics that provides bound on the fluctuations of any flux, also known as current, terms average rate entropy production. Such are quantified by second moment probability distribution current. role higher order standardized moments such skewness and kurtosis remains largely unexplored. We analyze associated with ...

This paper provides a novel method for identifying informed institutional trading by conditioning on investors’ tastes. Given an information signal about a stock, an investor’s tastes for certain characteristics of that stock can influence his decision to trade. Thus, trades which deviate from an investor’s tastes are more likely to reflect information. I test this hypothesis with respect to in...

Statistical analysis of non-normal data is usually more complicated than that for normaldistribution. In this paper, a simple root/power transformation technique developed by Niaki, et al [1]is extended to transform right and left skewed distributions to nearly normal. The value of theroot/power is explored such that the skewness of the transformed data becomes almost zero with anacceptable err...

In this article we discuses one of many possible applications of high order statistic (HOS) to speech detection problem. As a speech feature we used skewness or thirdorder cumulant with two zero lags in a simple voiced speech detection algorithm. We compared its properties with the energy feature in symmetric noises, speech signals and in various signal to noise ratios (SNR). These results proo...

We perform measurements of the third moment of atom number fluctuations in small slices of a very elongated weakly interacting degenerate Bose gas. We find a positive skewness of the atom number distribution in the ideal gas regime and a reduced skewness compatible with zero in the quasicondensate regime. For our parameters, the third moment is a thermodynamic quantity whose measurement constit...

We test predictions from theories of tournament, fairness and tastes for skewness about the effects of pay spread and skewness on employee effort and firm productivity. The data come from the population of 6,501 medium-to-large sized Danish private sector firms matched with all their employees during 1992-95. Potential simultaneity problems are addressed by instrumental variables provided by in...

Skewness indicates a lack of symmetry in a distribution. The coefficient of skewness is the commonly used measure to identify a lack of symmetry in the underlying data, although graphical procedures can also be effective. We have developed two comprehensive and efficient SAS ® macros for computing the various skewness measures and the appropriate power transformation, if one exists, to make an ...
