Dear All,
I am unsure about the likelihood function nomenclature.
I have seen the Sim function called the Rice function, and
aIso have read the acentric conditional normalized structure factor
distribution (ACNSFD)
called the Rice function (the centric conditional normalized structure
Hi Bernhard
Oh dear we're getting into naming issues again!! I'm not clear what's the
distinction you're making between 'A Rice function' and 'THE Rice function'
since my understanding was that there was only one form of Rice distribution,
i.e. the one defined here:
Dear Ian,

.
The same distinction seems common for the Gauss ND
Actually, on more digging, there seems to be a publication of the
Mathematical Analysis of Random Noise, by Rice already in 1944/45

No idea of Rice and Sim were aware of each other's work.
