Several extensions of the SWT to multi-dimensions have also been proposed. This paper investigates the relative strength and rotational robustness of some SWT-based normality tests. In particular, the Royston’s H-test and the SWT-based test proposed by Villase?or-Alva and González-Estrada have R packages available for testing multivariate normality;thus they are user friendly but lack of rotational robustness compared to the test proposed by Fattorini. Numerical power comparison is provided for illustration along with some practical guidelines on the choice of these SWT-type tests in practice.展开更多

It consists of calculating all the unweighted linear combinations of the variables and their W- or W'-statistics with the Royston’s log-transformation and standardization, z<sub>ln(1-W)</sub> or z<sub>ln(1-W</sub><sub>'</sub><sub>)</sub>. Because the calculation of the probability of z<sub>ln(1-W)</sub> or z<sub>ln(1-W</sub><sub>'</sub><sub>)</sub> is to the right tail, negative values are truncated to 0 before doing their sum of squares. Independence in the sequence of these half-normally distributed values is required for the test statistic to follow a chi-square distribution. This assumption is checked using the robust Ljung-Box test. One degree of freedom is lost for each cancelled value. Defined the new test with its two variants (Q-test or Q'-test), 50 random samples with 4 variables and 20 participants were generated, 20% following a multivariate normal distribution and 80% deviating from this distribution. The new test was compared with Mardia’s, runs, and Royston’s tests. Central tendency differences in type II error and statistical power were tested using the Friedman’s test and pairwise comparisons using the Wilcoxon’s test. Differences in the frequency of successes in statistical decision making were compared using the Cochran’s Q test and pairwise comparisons using the McNemar’s test. Sensitivity, specificity and efficiency proportions were compared using the McNemar’s Z test. The generated 50 samples were classified into five ordered categories of deviation from multivariate normality, the correlation between this variable and p-value of each test was calculated using the Spearman’s coefficient and these correlations were compared. Family-wise error rate corrections were applied. The new test and the Royston’s test were the best choices, with a very slight advantage Q-test over Q'-test. Based on these promising results, further study and use of this new sensitive, specific and effective test are suggested.展开更多

The reliability or the reliability bound of a network can be conveniently expressed as the summation of the joint probabilities of these paths. Under the multivariate normal distribution assumption, a conditioned reliability index method is developed to evaluate joint probabilities of various exclusive safe paths and failed paths, and, finally, the seismic reliability or the reliability bound of an electric power system. Examples given in the paper show that the method is very simple and provides accurate results in the seismic reliability analysis.展开更多

The observed signals originate in the electric power grid, shown clearly by the fact that they are sum and difference heterodyne products with the power grid’s higher harmonics of 60 Hz, typically the 36th and 37th, because the seismometer’s chosen frequency modulation (FM) carrier frequency is roughly 2200 Hz. It is especially interesting that on 2017-03-19, prior to 14:25:12 UTC, the instrument recorded an 11 minute sequence of 20.3 Hz ELF outbursts that culminated intimately with a 3.2 magnitude earthquake located a few miles west of Bardwell KY. These ~20.3 Hz ELF signals, very near the third Schumann resonance frequency, have been recorded numerous times. They are distinctive and fairly strong, ranging 15 to 30 db or more above the noise floor, but definitely not an every-day event;months can pass without them. So far most of these ELF signals do not have an intimately associated earthquake, with the event of 2017-03-19 being one of only two exceptions recorded thus far. That quake’s location was more than one hundred miles from the instrument, in the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ). The second case, a quake in Kansas, was about three times farther from the instrument, and its ELF signals were correspondingly weaker. Those other, unassociated electromagnetic events might come from quakes too weak to detect, but it should be noted that stronger, easily detected quakes also rarely exhibit any ELF/seismic “connectivity”. This paper describes an instrument that overlays ELF, electric field and seismic signals. The instrument’s two-dimensional (2D) output has a time axis (horizontal) resolution of ~3 seconds and an ELF frequency (vertical) resolution of ~0.3 Hz.展开更多
