Notes:
The use of the KMS method for the evaluation of the exponent by the experimentalist requires that a lag or retardation be chosen. The best choice of lag is discussed quantitatively. Its dependence upon the decade range of the data, the relative magnitude of the background, the level and character of the noise, the number and distribution of the data, and the weighted least-squares method of analysis are all detailed. A table of lags and error factors is given, for various ranges, backgrounds, and kinds of noise. Bias in the extracted rate (k), due to noise and treatment of the data, is also discussed.
