Rayleigh test can refer to:

• a test for periodicity in irregularly sampled data,cite-ref-1[1]
• a derivation of the above to test for non-uniformity (as unimodal clustering) of a set of points on a circle (e.g. compass directions),cite-ref-2[2] sometimes known as the Rayleigh z test.cite-ref-3[3]
