Template:One source In mathematics the signal-to-noise statistic distance between two vectors a and b with mean values μa and μb and standard deviation σa and σb respectively is:

Dsn=(μaμb)(σa+σb)

In the case of Gaussian-distributed data and unbiased class distributions, this statistic can be related to classification accuracy given an ideal linear discrimination, and a decision boundary can be derived.[1]

This distance is frequently used to identify vectors that have significant difference. One usage is in bioinformatics to locate genes that are differential expressed on microarray experiments.[2]
