A recording medium storing thereon a program which causes a noise separating apparatus to function, the noise separating apparatus separating a probability density function of a predetermined noise component from a probability density function of a signal under test,
- the program causing the noise separating apparatus to function as:
- a domain transforming section that is supplied with the probability density function of the signal under test and transforms the probability density function into a spectrum in a frequency domain;
- and
- a standard deviation computing section that computes standard deviation of a random component of noise contained in the signal under test based on a magnitude of a predetermined frequency component in a main lobe of the spectrum.
