A test for determining the probability that a given result could not have occurred by chance (its significance).

The limit test, also sometimes known as the nth term test, says that if lima_n!=0 or this limit does not exist as n tends to infinity, then the series suma_n does not ...

A statistical test in which assumptions are made about the underlying distribution of observed data.

The Wilcoxon test statistic is equivalent to the T_+ statistic in the Wilcoxon signed rank test (Kanji 1999).

A test which always identifies prime numbers correctly, but may incorrectly identify a composite number as a prime.

The compositeness test consisting of the application of Fermat's little theorem.

Let u_k be a series with positive terms and suppose rho=lim_(k->infty)(u_(k+1))/(u_k). Then 1. If rho<1, the series converges. 2. If rho>1 or rho=infty, the series diverges. ...

Let sumu_k be a series with positive terms and let f(x) be the function that results when k is replaced by x in the formula for u_k. If f is decreasing and continuous for ...

A test for the convergence of Fourier series. Let phi_x(t)=f(x+t)+f(x-t)-2f(x), then if int_0^pi(|phi_x(t)|dt)/t is finite, the Fourier series converges to f(x) at x.

A test for the primality of Fermat numbers F_n=2^(2^n)+1, with n>=2 and k>=2. Then the two following conditions are equivalent: 1. F_n is prime and (k/F_n)=-1, where (n/k) is ...
