  • Abstract
    Two simple tests are presented for classifying a set of clutter samples into either the log-normal or Weibull distribution. The results obtained by Monte Carlo simulation have shown that both of these tests are only slightly inferior to the test based on the ratio of maximized likelihoods. An application to constant false-alarm rate (CFAR) processing is also discussed.
