Mathematical Analysis of Random Noise
Abstract
THIS paper deals with the mathematical analysis of noise obtained by passing random noise through physical devices. The random noise considered is that which arises from shot effect in vacuum tubes or from thermal agitation of electrons in resistors. Our main interest is in the statistical properties of such noise and we leave to one side many physical results of which Nyquist's law may be given as an example.1

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
