Non-parametric method for testing an exponential sample for purity under condition of small statistics
Victor Zlokazov

In many innovative physical experiments such as, e.g., the synthesis of super heavy elements the statistics of the observed data is
small and there is not enough of the a priori information about the parameters of their distribution function. In such a situation
the first step of the analysis - answering the question: is the observed data a decay of a single source or a mixture of sources including
the background and the noise, requires use of methods little sensitive to the volume of the data analyzed and the a priori information
about the parameters. The paper proposes such a non-parametric method: testing the ratio of the sample median and the sample
mean.
