Home > Stochastic resonance

Stochastic resonance occurs when the signal-to-noise ratio of a nonlinear device is maximized for a moderate value of noise intensity. It often occurs in excitable system s with subthreshold inputs. For lower noise intensities, the signal does not cause the device to cross threshold, so little signal is passed through it. For large noise intensities, the output is dominated by the noise, also leading to a low signal-to-noise ratio. For moderate intensities, the noise allows the signal to reach threshold, but the noise intensity is not so large as to swamp it. Thus, a plot of signal-to-noise ratio as a function of noise intensity shows an upside-down "U" shape.

Stochastic processIn the mathematics of probability, a stochastic process is a random function. In practical applications, the domain over which the function is defined is a time interval (a stochastic process of this kind is called a time series in applications) or a regi	Stochastic matrixIn mathematics, especially in probability theory and statistics, and also in linear algebra and computer science, a stochastic matrix is a square matrix whose columns are probability vectors, i. the entries in each column are nonnegative real numbers whos	Stochastic calculusStochastic calculus is a branch of mathematics that provides the formal framework and mathematical tools needed for modelling stochastic processes, which are specified through one or more integral and/or differential equations involving both deterministic
