Kuiper's test is closely related to the more well-known Kolmogorov-Smirnov test ( or K-S test as it is often called ).

The trick with Kuiper's test is to use the quantity D < sup >+</ sup > + D < sup >−</ sup > as the test statistic.

This small change makes Kuiper's test as sensitive in the tails as at the median and also makes it invariant under cyclic transformations of the independent variable.

This invariance under cyclic transformations makes Kuiper's test invaluable when testing for cyclic variations by time of year or day of the week or time of day, and more generally for testing the fit of, and differences between, circular probability distributions.

The test statistic, V, for Kuiper's test is defined as follows.

Kuiper's test, applied to the event times modulo one week, is able to detect such a pattern.

One important aspect is that these may have simpler topological properties: see for example Kuiper's theorem.

It should not be confused with the space of ( bounded ) invertible operators on a Hilbert space, which is a larger group, and topologically much simpler, namely contractible — see Kuiper's theorem.

A minor glitch in Kuiper's commentary is about switch-hitters who are currently batting, claiming the batter hits better from one side, but when looking at the batter's power and / or contact stats, they actually hit better from the other side.

* Kuiper's theorem: If X is a compact topological space or has the homotopy type of a CW-Complex then every ( real or complex ) Hilbert space bundle over X is trivial.

Kuiper's statistic does not change if we change the beginning of the year and does not require that we bin failures into months or the like.

A statistical hypothesis test is a method of making decisions using data.

A test result ( calculated from the null hypothesis and the sample ) is called statistically significant if it is deemed unlikely to have occurred, assuming the truth of the null hypothesis.

Homozygous and heterozygous Af cells, Af and homozygous and heterozygous Af cells were used to test each sample ; ;

The saline tubes were saved and used for the indirect Coombs test in the following manner.

In all cases the activity against Af cells was spread over a wider area than that with Af cells, regardless of the type of test ( saline, albumin, indirect Coombs ) used for comparison.

Five drying test procedures are established to cover the range of drying techniques used in the home and commercial laundry.

The preparation of test specimens will vary depending upon the type of dimensional restorability procedure ( if any ) to be used.

The objective random-assignment is used to test the significance of the null hypothesis, following the ideas of C. S. Peirce and Ronald A. Fisher.

* One-way ANOVA is used to test for differences among two or more independent groups ( means ), e. g. different levels of urea application in a crop.

Typically, however, the one-way ANOVA is used to test for differences among at least three groups, since the two-group case can be covered by a t-test.

Moseley, after discussions with Bohr who was at the same lab ( and who had used Van den Broek's hypothesis in his Bohr model of the atom ), decided to test Van den Broek and Bohr's hypothesis directly, by seeing if spectral lines emitted from excited atoms fit the Bohr theory's demand that the frequency of the spectral lines be proportional to a measure of the square of Z.
