The dots are the experimental results [

as a function
of time. The theoretical prediction of (

) and the experimental data cannot be distinguished
from one another. Redrawn with permission.
The wiggly curve is given by the sum variable
S

as a function of time. The straight-line
segment is the best inverse power-law fit to the experimental data [

leads to a definition of
that is more accurate than that determined in earlier work
[

]. Thus, the excellent agreement between the fitting formula of (
7.140
) and the
experimental results of Figure

requires only two fitting parameters,
μ
and
C

orously proportional to the perturbation intensity, as it should be if a proper LRT
is applicable. To complete the experimental proof of the non-stationary LRT, they
