ABSTRACT

The considered procedures and methods of measurements of probability distribution functions and probability density function (pdf) are acceptable in the case of pulse stochastic processes. Under the use of reference stochastic process with the known pdf, the structure of algorithm to measure the arguments of probability distribution function is changed. A ratio of the number of pulses that do not exceed the threshold to the total number of pulses corresponding to the observation time interval is equal by value to the probability distribution function estimate. Under practical realization of measurers of the stochastic process pdf, the multichannel amplitude analyzers are widely used. The input realization x(t) of a stochastic process comes in at the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) input. The considered procedures and methods of measurements of probability distribution functions and pdfs are acceptable in the case of pulse stochastic processes. The software control device and ADC must be synchronized by the investigated pulse stochastic process.
