The specific value of a noisy waveform at any instant of time is inherently unpredictable. Some values, however, tend to occur more often than others. The frequency with which each value occurs can be characterized by a probability density function. This concept and other related probabilistic concepts are presented in this chapter to provide a theoretical framework for subsequent discussions. Readers desiring a more detailed and rigorous exposition should consult the references recommended at the end of the chapter.
