... Chapter 14. ... Data consist of numbers, of course. ... In the following sections, you will repeatedly encounter the following paradigm: § apply some formula to the data to compute a statistic § compute where the value of that statistic falls in a probability distribution that is computed on the basis of some null hypothesis § if it falls in a very unlikely spot, way out on a tail of the distribution , conclude that the null hypothesis is false for your ... 609 610 Chapter 14. ...

One way the Chinese used astronomy was known as lifa; it was a discipline that aimed to understand the regularities and the predictable events in the celestial system through careful, observations, measurements and records. ... back to Teachers' Newsletter Main Page ...

XPA supports both inet and unix (local) socket communication. XPA uses sockets for communication between processes. It supports three methods of socket communication: inet, localhost, and unix. ... You can set up a different method by typing something like: setenv XPA_METHOD local # unix csh XPA_METHOD=local; export XPA_METHOD # unix sh, bash, windows/cygwin set XPA_METHOD=localhost # dos/windows The options for XPA_METHOD are: inet , unix (or local ), and localhost . ...

... The low energy plasma composition spectrometer AMEI-2 is built to be able to find in the low energy range of the phase space (E, q, j) and separate the fluxes of the major ion species in the magnetotail - H+, He++, He+ and O+, and analyse their energy and angular distributions. ... Electrostatic angular scanning in one direction and the use of the spin of the satellite to sample the other angle give the ability to measure 2-D distributions for each ion specie several times per spin. ...

Every point is represented with two numbers: geodetic longitude and geodetic latitude, both in degrees. Second portion of the page contains coordinates of the points at terminator line for the moments of contacts. There are 360 points on the lines, tens of them per line. The starting angle is indicated in the leftmost column.
