Abstract: We study the distributions of integrals of Gaussian processes arising as limiting distributions of test statistics proposed for treating a goodness of fit or symmetry problem. We show that the cumulants of the distributions can be expressed in terms of Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers.
