Popis: The Pearson test is used to confirm that knock intensity data closely approximate a cyclically independent random process which is therefore fully characterized by its probability density function or cumulative distribution function. Although these distributions are often assumed to be log-normal, other results have shown that the data do not conform to a log-normal distribution at the 5% significance level. A new dual log-normal model is therefore proposed based on the assumption that the data comprise a mixture of two distributions, one knocking and one non-knocking. Methods for estimating the parameters of this model, and for assessing the quality of fit, are presented. The results show a significantly improved model fit.
