    Spectral Analysis Applied to Ocean Waves

    [b]1. I am currently looking at the area of spectral analysis applied to ocean waves. I have a set of "raw" recorded data of wave height, direction, frequency etc. I understand that spectral analysis is used to validate/process wave data recorded by instruments. [b]2. Have I more or less...

    Algebraic sum of continuous random variable probabilities

    Thanks guys, this is getting very close to the answer I've been searching for. It seems to me that there are clarifications needed here, one from me, and hopefully one from you guys. Firstly, as regards the issue of not capturing the absolute peak, my suggested procedure was to measure every...

    Algebraic sum of continuous random variable probabilities

    Hi Stephen, those are some fair points, and actually things I hadn't considered previously, so thanks a lot for pointing them out. Forgetting completely about the example I have used above, and bearing in mind your comments, the more apt question to which I would appreciate the your...

    Algebraic sum of continuous random variable probabilities

    Cheers micromass! that's all great thanks. What I've actually done is created a histogram of ranges (0-0.99m, 1-1.99m, 2-2.99m etc.) of wave heights and the number of measurements recorded in each range. This can easily become a pdf for a discrete random variable when I convert the number of...

    Algebraic sum of continuous random variable probabilities

    Hi all, I have a question relating to the sum of continuous random variable probabilities that I hope you can help to answer. In any probability density function (pdf), dealing with discrete or continuous random variables, the sum of the probabilities of all possible events must equal 1...
