Interpretation of Dual Peak Time Signal Measured in Network Systems
During a computer network activity there are many events which occur in certain moments of time with a given likelihood. The statistical aspect of this can be described by a probability density function of a random variable connected with the event time. The function in many cases has a specific feature which is not covered by any well known probability distributions. It has two maxima, in particular when time signal in network systems is measured. It is suggested that; the function is a convolution of other ones. However, in order to simplify the probability modeling, a special distribution named if can be defined, especially for discrete variables. Interpretation of dual peak.
