Statistical Procedure and the Significance of Periodicities in Double-Galaxy Redshifts
Abstract
Newman, Haynes, and Terzian have claimed that Tifft's early analyses of the 72.45 km s^-1^ redshift periodicity were invalid. In this paper we show that their claims are incorrect and that proper statistical procedures were followed by Tifft both in defining the 72.45 km s^-1^ period and in evaluating its significance.
