Suppose events occur at epochs T 1, T 2, ... such that the interevent times T k − T k − 1 are mutually independent, positive random variables with common cumulative distribution function. Then the forward recurrence time from an arbitrary time t is the time from t to the next occurrence. Point stochastic processes; Renewal processes.
