Applications of Random Process Excursion Analysis

Appendix 3

Simulation of Distribution Densities for Areas Enveloped by Above-Threshold or Below-Threshold Excursions of Gaussian and Rayleigh Random Process Curves

Table A3.1 shows the distribution density values obtained by simulation for areas under the curves that represent excursions of a Gaussian random process with a Gaussian power spectrum above the set standardized threshold level. The threshold level was gradually increased from 0 to 3 in 0.5 incremental steps.
