Abstract

A simple way to convert a purely random sequence of events into a signal with a strong periodic component is proposed. The signal consists of those instants of time at which the length of the random sequence exceeds an integer multiple of a given number. The larger this number the more pronounced the periodic behavior becomes.

  9. For such a purely random process the conditional probability P(t s) of a dry period of duration τ conditioned on a preceding dry period of length s is independent of the duration s. Hence, P(t s) = P(t). On the other hand, Bayes rule implies P(t s) = P(t + s)/P(s) and therefore one obtains with P(t + s) = P(t)P(s) a functional equation with exponential functions as the only continuous solutions [10]
