The behavior of a random process ( ) and its relationship with the number of crossings it makes above a certain level ( ). An analysis of the random variable and discusses methods to characterize it, such as finding its probability density function (pdf) or moments. It also introduces the concepts of narrow and broad band processes and their spectral moments.
