This paper introduces a novel nonparametric measure to analyze gamma-ray burst data, utilizing clustering methods like Gaussian-mixture and K-means algorithms. The research applies multiple statistical tests to the BATSE catalog, integrating their p-values to confirm the existence of two distinct groups of bursts: short and long. This approach resolves previous debates about the number of clusters within the gamma-ray burst population. AI
