commit c13fd168b23b75bdc932d4acc3960009d6ca2b7c
Author: Mohammad Akhlaghi <mohammad@akhlaghi.org>

Book: corrected typo in section title
Until now, the word "caused" was incorrectly written as "cased" in the
title of the newly added section in the third tutorial: "Skewness cased by
signal and its measurement".
With this commit, it has been corrected and "caused" is properly spelled!

This skewness is a good measure of how much faint signal we have in the
distribution.
The skewness can be accurately measured by the difference in the mean and
median (assuming no strong outliers): the more distant they are, the more
skewed the dataset is.

However, skewness is only a proxy for signal when the signal has structure
(varies per pixel).
Therefore, when it is approximately constant over a whole tile, or sub-set of
the image, the constant signal's effect is just to shift the symmetric center
of the noise distribution to the positive and there won't be any skewness
(major difference between the mean and median).

Inverting the argument above gives us a robust method to quantify the
significance of signal in a dataset: when the mean and median of a distribution
are approximately equal we can argue that there is no significant signal.

0.5.

Because the Poisson distribution is only applicable to positive integer values
(note the factorial operator, which only applies to non-negative integers),
naturally it is very skewed when @mymath{\lambda} is near zero.
One qualitative way to understand this behavior is that for smaller values
near zero, there simply aren't enough integers smaller than the mean, than
integers that are larger.
Therefore to accommodate all possibilities/counts, it has to be strongly
skewed to the positive when the mean is small.
