Presented the results of evaluation of structural connection, identity and interchangeability of main asymmetric types of theoretical distributions most often acceptable for assessing the distributions of various indicators in geology and technology. The method of empirical analysis and statistical inference was used with the involvement of nonparametric facts according to the distribution patterns. The analysis of the empirical results of the application of the lognormal, gamma distribution and the Weibull distribution with the involvement of extensive statistical data from literary and research sources is carried out. The characteristic features and statistical regularities of distributions inherent to them are revealed, estimated statistical conclusions are obtained, according to which structural relationships between the functions of the lognormal, gamma and Weibull distributions are revealed. The identity and authenticity of the development of probabilistic frequencies in their application have been established, the complex geometric "image" of asymmetry inherent to these types of distributions is generalized. Structural relationships and interchangeability of asymmetric types of distributions are recommended to increase the reliability and credibility of the estimated choice of distribution in conditions of uncertainty and insignificance of statistical data when solving problems associated with forecasts, technological and computer developments.

The paper is focused on a theoretical analysis of the function of continuous flow mixer with the so-called gamma-distribution of fluid residence times, used as a linear filter smoothing undesirable fluctuations of input properties. A relation is derived expressing the degree of smoothing of the signal passing through the system, as a function of statistical parameters of this signal and of gamma-distribution of fluid-residence times in the mixer. The analysis of this relation leads to conclusions concerning the prediction of the operation of smoothing mixers or the design of their basic parameters.

Abstract Regions of differing constraint, mutation rate or recombination along a sequence of DNA or amino acids lead to a nonuniform distribution of polymorphism within species or fixed differences between species. The power of five tests to reject the null hypothesis of a uniform distribution is studied for four classes of alternate hypothesis. The tests explored are the variance of interval lengths; a modified variance test, which includes covariance between neighboring intervals; the length of the longest interval; the length of the shortest third-order interval; and a composite test. Although there is no uniformly most powerful test over the range of alternate hypotheses tested, the variance and modified variance tests usually have the highest power. Therefore, we recommend that one of these two tests be used to test departure from uniformity in all circumstances. Tables of critical values for the variance and modified variance tests are given. The critical values depend both on the number of events and the number of positions in the sequence. A computer program is available on request that calculates both the critical values for a specified number of events and number of positions as well as the significance level of a given data set.
