The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

The counts-in-cells and the two-point angular correlation function method are used to test the randomnesses in the angular distributions of both the all gamma-ray bursts collected at BATSE Catalog, and also their three subclasses ("short", "intermediate", "long"). The methods elimate the non-zero sky-exposure function of BATSE instrument. Both tests suggest intrinsic non-randomnesses for the intermediate subclass; for the remaining three cases only the correlation function method. The confidence levels are between 95% and 99.9%. Separating the GRBs into two parts ("dim half" and "bright half", respectively) we obtain the result that the "dim" half shows a non-randomness on the 99.3% confidence level from the counts-in-cells test.

The paper
Original abstract

The counts-in-cells and the two-point angular correlation function method are used to test the randomnesses in the angular distributions of both the all gamma-ray bursts collected at BATSE Catalog, and also their three subclasses ("short", "intermediate", "long"). The methods elimate the non-zero sky-exposure function of BATSE instrument. Both tests suggest intrinsic non-randomnesses for the intermediate subclass; for the remaining three cases only the correlation function method. The confidence levels are between 95% and 99.9%. Separating the GRBs into two parts ("dim half" and "bright half", respectively) we obtain the result that the "dim" half shows a non-randomness on the 99.3% confidence level from the counts-in-cells test.
