noise and randomly
With C-message weighting, a one-milliwatt, 1000 Hz tone will read + 90 dBrn, but the same power as white noise, randomly distributed over a 3 kHz band will read approximately + 88. 5 dBrn, because of the frequency weighting.

( Dark noise is a phenomenon in which randomly spaced bright pixels appear in images due to the heat from the image device during shooting ).
The IRT approach includes a left asymptote parameter to account for guessing in multiple choice examinations, while the Rasch model does not because it is assumed that guessing adds randomly distributed noise to the data.
That is, whereas ( digital ) white noise can be produced by randomly choosing each sample independently, Brown noise can be produced by adding a random offset to each sample to obtain the next one.
For factors which vary randomly over space ( tree to tree or stand to stand ), the best solution is to collect sufficient data ( more samples ) to compensate for confounding noise.
Since the reflected pulses are unavoidably embedded in electrical noise, their measured values are randomly distributed, so that the transit time must be estimated.

noise and distributed

and 1993's Perfect Teeth ( distributed by the influential British label 4AD Records ) featured finely crafted pop songs interspersed with strange avant-garde percussive and sonic tracks ( sometimes featuring nothing but white noise, beeps or sirens ).
Note that this averaging is possible only if the signal contains perfect equally distributed noise ( i. e. if the A / D is perfect and the signal's deviation from an A / D result step lies below the threshold, the conversion result will be as inaccurate as if it had been measured by the low-resolution core A / D and the oversampling benefits will not take effect ).
The quantization noise is the same both in a Nyquist converter ( in yellow ) and in an oversampling converter ( in blue ), but it is distributed over a larger spectrum.

The statistics are performed under the assumption that are Poisson distributed, which is appropriate for photon noise in the data.
