probably RFI

So if I notice RFI in one or more of my tasks, I have in fact found E.T.

Correct?

No Knut you've found the voices in your head that insist on coming back here even after you are banned.

For all others RFI is just that local radar interference. Nothing more

My computer is computing the FFT much of the time.

FFT stands for Fast Fourier Transform. I have read about it earlier, but may have to go back to that once more for a refresh of the subject.

Anyway, if one or more of my results return a particular gaussian score, is or has that particular gaussian score been or being derived from the corresponding pulse or pulses in that task?

A "perfect" gaussian curve could be thought of as being drawn through the gaussian being returned by the processing of a particular task.

But if the corresponding number for let's say power and fit is "some" number,
how can you end up with such a "perfect" curve for that particular gaussian score. Is it possible at all?

Can you deduce a possible signal if the mentioned numbers are "some" numbers when all you get is a possible "perfect" gaussian curve? I guess the numbers were included in the possible result(s) as well.
