  2. Frequency of exceedance - Wikipedia

    Thus, the mean time between peaks, including the residence time or mean time before the very first peak, is the inverse of the frequency of exceedance N −1 (y max). If the number of peaks exceeding y max grows as a Poisson process, then the probability that at time t there has not yet been any peak exceeding y max is e −N(y max)t. [6] Its ...

    Therefore, by definition, bPOE is equal to one minus the confidence level at which the Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) is equal to . bPOE is similar to the probability of exceedance of the threshold x {\displaystyle x} , but the tail is defined by its mean rather than the lowest point x {\displaystyle x} of the tail.

  4. Probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability

    Probability is the branch of mathematics and statistics concerning events and numerical descriptions of how likely they are to occur. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1; the larger the probability, the more likely an event is to occur. [note 1] [1] [2] This number is often expressed as a percentage (%), ranging from 0% to ...

  5. Convolution of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution_of_probability...

    The probability distribution of the sum of two or more independent random variables is the convolution of their individual distributions. The term is motivated by the fact that the probability mass function or probability density function of a sum of independent random variables is the convolution of their corresponding probability mass functions or probability density functions respectively.

    Also confidence coefficient. A number indicating the probability that the confidence interval (range) captures the true population mean. For example, a confidence interval with a 95% confidence level has a 95% chance of capturing the population mean. Technically, this means that, if the experiment were repeated many times, 95% of the CIs computed at this level would contain the true population ...

  8. Student's t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-distribution

    The probability density function is symmetric, and its overall shape resembles the bell shape of a normally distributed variable with mean 0 and variance 1, except that it is a bit lower and wider. As the number of degrees of freedom grows, the t distribution approaches the normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.

  9. Event (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_(probability_theory)

    In probability theory, an event is a subset of outcomes of an experiment (a subset of the sample space) to which a probability is assigned. [1] A single outcome may be an element of many different events, [2] and different events in an experiment are usually not equally likely, since they may include very different groups of outcomes. [3]
