In this chapter, we give an informal review of probability theory and other matters that are of relevance to the modelling of clutter and its impact on radar systems. Our selection of topics is rather eclectic and our treatment pragmatic; the principal aim is to remove those obstacles to the evaluation of radar performance presented by any unfamiliarity with the concepts and practice involved in calculating probabilities. Much fuller accounts can be found in standard texts such as in References 1 and 2. By collecting together the relevant definitions and didactic developments, we also ensure a greater continuity, and brevity, in our discussions in other chapters of the book.
