32. It is remarkable that the same dependence is observed in the Fourier-spectrum of quasiprobability distributions as (Formula presented), Wigner, or (Formula presented) functions.

37. Least (Formula presented) fitting is the adequate method, if the errors are independent and normally distributed with constant standard deviation or close to these conditions.

40. The contour lines of the (Formula presented) function remind one very much of the shape of a banana; this is why we sometimes speak about the “banana state.”
