Simpler, Faster, and More Robust T-test Based Leakage Detection.

Abstract. The TVLA procedure using the t-test has become a popu-lar leakage detection method. To protect against environmental fluctua-tion in laboratory measurements, we propose a paired t-test to improve the standard procedure. We take advantage of statistical matched-pairs design to remove the environmental noise effect in leakage detection. Higher order leakage detection is further improved with a moving av-erage method. We compare the proposed test with standard t-test on synthetic data and physical measurements. Our results show that the proposed tests are robust to environmental noise. 1
