Convolution Method in Probability Distribution
Convolution Method in Probability Distribution
CONVOLUTION
It is a technique used in simulation to calculate the
resulting probability distribution from the sum or the
combination of two or more independent random variables.
Examples
Erlang distribution.
Call center.
Retail configuration.
Erlang Distribution.
Normal distribution.
Student's t-distribution
chi-square distribution and the
Fisher's F distribution.
Media = Mediana = Moda
Normal distribution.
Binomial distribution.
Success or failure.
Each test or experiment
is carried out in a way
independent.
It helps us calculate the
probability of obtaining a
specific number of successes
in a set of tests.
