Cosmic Ray Particles Images With Orca-Ii Erg, George Mcnamara

George McNamara

Cosmic ray particles image series acquired using a Hamamatsu ORCA-II ERG scientific grade CCD camera, cooled to -60 C. Each image is a consecutive 600 second (10 minute) exposure time with no light to the camera.

While processing the data, I discoverd that the background changed around planes 25 and 227 (see Excel file and jpeg screenshots), so I also processed only planes 025-227 (203 planes total, 2030 minutes, 33.83 hours). the CCD industry "rule of thumb" for a "typical" CCD sensor (i.e. 1/3" CCD) is that one cosmic ray particle strikes a sensor approximately every 30 seconds (assuming not …

R Code: A Non-Iterative Implementation Of Tango's Score Confidence Interval For A Paired Difference Of Proportions, Zhao Yang

Zhao (Tony) Yang, Ph.D.

For matched-pair binary data, a variety of approaches have been proposed for the construction of a confidence interval (CI) for the difference of marginal probabilities between two procedures. The score-based approximate CI has been shown to outperform other asymptotic CIs. Tango’s method provides a score CI by inverting a score test statistic using an iterative procedure. In the developed R code, we propose an efficient non-iterative method with closed-form expression to calculate Tango’s CIs. Examples illustrate the practical application of the new approach.
