摘要

We study approximations to the distribution of the largest Walsh-Fourier coefficient obtained by transforming i.i.d. observations from a non-normal parent distribution. The study is inspired by the use of half-normal plots in screening studies and in the analysis of molecular sequence data. In the latter context, we indicate why continuity corrections are needed.
