All sorts of physical processes in this analog world exhibit some degree of randomness. Think of noise, for example. Many noisy processes are described by Gaussian probability distributions. We should ...

We prove two theorems concerning extreme values of general Gaussian fields. Our first theorem concerns the phenomenon of multiple peaks. Consider a centered Gaussian field whose sites have variance at ...

This article discusses the contribution of counting statistics to the uncertainty in identifying the net peak area, and in controlling detection limits. The method is applicable to spectrometers that ...
