These two papers form a series concerning the problem of signal detection in highly nongaussian EMI environments. David Middleton was a noted pioneer in the field of statistical communication theory. Middleton was also a collaborator of Nobel Prize winner J. (truncated) H. Van Vleck. [AIP]. Interview of John H. Van Vleck by Charles Wiener, 1973, Niels Bohr Library & Archives, AIP.
