  2. Exponential distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the exponential distribution or negative exponential distribution is the probability distribution of the distance between events in a Poisson point process, i.e., a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate; the distance parameter could be any meaningful mono-dimensional measure of the process, such as time ...

  3. Wrapped exponential distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrapped_exponential...

    The probability density function of the wrapped exponential distribution is [1] (;) = = (+) =,for < where > is the rate parameter of the unwrapped distribution. This is identical to the truncated distribution obtained by restricting observed values X from the exponential distribution with rate parameter λ to the range <.

  4. Exponential decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_decay

    Exponential decay is a scalar multiple of the exponential distribution (i.e. the individual lifetime of each object is exponentially distributed), which has a well-known expected value. We can compute it here using integration by parts.

  5. Relationships among probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationships_among...

    A chi-squared distribution with 2 degrees of freedom (k = 2) is an exponential distribution with a mean value of 2 (rate λ = 1/2 .) A Weibull distribution with shape parameter k = 1 and rate parameter β is an exponential distribution with rate parameter β.

  6. Failure rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_rate

    Cumulative distribution function for the exponential distribution, often used as the cumulative failure function ().. To accurately model failures over time, a cumulative failure distribution, () must be defined, which can be any cumulative distribution function (CDF) that gradually increases from to .

  7. Survival function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_function

    This particular exponential curve is specified by the parameter lambda, λ: λ = 1/(mean time between failures) = 1/59.6 = 0.0168. The distribution of failure times is the probability density function (PDF), since time can take any positive value. In equations, the PDF is specified as f T.

  8. Variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance

    The exponential distribution with parameter λ is a continuous distribution whose probability density function is given by f ( x ) = λ e − λ x {\displaystyle f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}} on the interval [0, ∞) .

  9. Memorylessness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorylessness

    The only memoryless continuous probability distribution is the exponential distribution, shown in the following proof: [9] First, define S ( t ) = Pr ( X > t ) {\displaystyle S(t)=\Pr(X>t)} , also known as the distribution's survival function .
