    Maths statement for point when condition is met some fraction of the time

    Just to further clarify, I simply want to do as follows, take an expression in words and write it using mathematical notation. i.e. 'x is a complex number' : x\in C 'natural log tends to infinity as x tends to infinity' : \lim\limits_{x\to+\infty}\ln(x)\to+\infty 'f(x) > y 95% of the...

    Maths statement for point when condition is met some fraction of the time

    Hi Mark44, Thanks for the reply. Ok, I understand your point, but i am not asking for a confidence interval. My question is on nomenclature. I simply need a mathematical way of conveying the following statement 'f(x) > y 95% of the time'. I do not need the distribution behind it, or the...

    Maths statement for point when condition is met some fraction of the time

    Hi HallsofIvy, Thanks for the reply. It is not (I believe) fair to talk about confidence levels in the way I think you suggest - this is not a normally distributed random variable, it is not a two tailed distribution. I am in fact fitting a model to my data to get a chi sqrd, comparing this...

    Maths statement for point when condition is met some fraction of the time

    Hello all, I would like to express the following as an equation, but don't know the nomenclature. 'The point at which a condition is true 95% of the time' ie. I have a function, f(x) which returns some value in the presence of random and uncharicterizable noise. I run this 1000 times. I...
