A.13 Impulses on Noise

The Signal Noise.xls file contains 100 samples of noise with a chi-square
distribution, to which were added impulses with arrival times following a Poisson
distribution. The amplitudes of the impulses were also generated with a chi-square
distribution.
A threshold value can be specified in order to detect the signal impulses.
Changing the value of the threshold will change the number of true and false
impulse detections.
