SliceDistribution[proc,t]
represents the distribution of the process state at time t.
SliceDistribution[proc,{t1,…,tk}]
represents the joint distribution of process states at times t1<⋯<tk.
DetailsFind a univariate slice distribution of a PoissonProcess:
Find a bivariate slice distribution of a WienerProcess:
Find a multivariate slice distribution of a moving-average time series:
It does not autoevaluate but behaves like a distribution:
Scope (3)Slice distribution behaves like a distribution:
Generate a set of pseudorandom numbers:
Slice distribution may autoevaluate to known distributions:
Slice distribution for an M/M/ queue:
Cumulative distribution function:
Mean of the slice distribution:
Find the limit of the mean as t approaches :
This agrees with the mean of the corresponding StationaryDistribution:
As well as the mean system size in the steady state:
Properties & Relations (2)Slice distribution at infinity is StationaryDistribution:
Use implicit times for computing probabilities:
Obtain the same result using the slice distribution:
Compute an expectation using implicit time in the variable x[t]:
Obtain the same result using the slice distribution:
Possible Issues (1)For some continuous-time random processes, simulation of a slice distribution is not well defined:
The process path simulation between the origin and the end time depends on the choice of step:
The slice distribution simulations for a few step choices show the approximations of the exact slice distribution:
