  2. Memorylessness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorylessness

    The only continuous random variable that is memoryless is the exponential random variable. It models random processes like time between consecutive events. [8] The memorylessness property asserts that the amount of time since the previous event has no effect on the future time until the next event occurs.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Markov property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_property

    The term strong Markov property is similar to the Markov property, except that the meaning of "present" is defined in terms of a random variable known as a stopping time. The term Markov assumption is used to describe a model where the Markov property is assumed to hold, such as a hidden Markov model .

  5. Renewal theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewal_theory

    The Poisson process is the unique renewal process with the Markov property, [1] as the exponential distribution is the unique continuous random variable with the property of memorylessness. Renewal-reward processes

  6. Residual time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_time

    This is a known characteristic of the exponential distribution, i.e., its memoryless property. Intuitively, this means that it does not matter how long it has been since the last renewal epoch, the remaining time is still probabilistically the same as in the beginning of the holding time interval.

    A male humpback whale made one of the longest and most unusual migrations on record for the species, an anomaly scientists say might be linked to climate change.
