Relationship With Brownian Motion
The stochastic process Xt given by
(where Wt is a standard Brownian motion and ) is a Brownian motion with drift ν.
Then, the first passage time for a fixed level by Xt is distributed according to an inverse-gaussian:

Famous quotes containing the words relationship with, relationship and/or motion:
“Guilty, guilty, guilty is the chant divorced parents repeat in their heads. This constant reminder remains just below our consciousness. Nevertheless, its presence clouds our judgment, inhibits our actions, and interferes in our relationship with our children.

—Stephanie Marston (20th century)
“Sometimes in our relationship to another human being the proper balance of friendship is restored when we put a few grains of impropriety onto our own side of the scale.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Two children, all alone and no one by,
Holding their tattered frocks, thro’an airy maze
Of motion lightly threaded with nimble feet
Dance sedately; face to face they gaze,
Their eyes shining, grave with a perfect pleasure.”
—Laurence Binyon (1869–1943)
