What test did Rayleigh introduce for circular non-uniformity?

  • Rayleigh test

  • Chi-squared test

  • T-test

  • F-test

Answer

Rayleigh test is a statistical test introduced by Lord Rayleigh to detect circular non-uniformity in a distribution. It compares the variance of the distribution to the variance of a uniform distribution with the same mean. If the variance of the distribution is significantly greater than the variance of the uniform distribution, then the distribution is considered to be non-uniform.
