Abstract

A procedure for the determining of the measure of non-gaussianity of nearly Gaussian noise is suggested, which used trimmed interval of concentration. The procedure is based on the Parseval finite-interval theorem. The following notions have been introduced: the scalar measure of non-gaussianity, the vector measure of non-gaussianity, and multicomponent partial measure of non-gaussianity. The method allows decreasing the probability of the mistaking of a purely Gaussian noise for nearly Gaussian one. The procedure was validated using a mixed normal distribution. The testing showed the finite-interval analog of the Gram-Charlier expansion to have only a few main (meaningful) components. The procedure for the determining of the measure of non-gaussianity of nearly Gaussian noise can be used in the noise diagnostics of various electrochemical systems and for noise monitoring of objects and processes in the electrochemical power engineering.
