Burstiness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Burstiness is a statistics term referring to the intermittent increases and decreases in activity or frequency of an event.[1][2]

Burstiness is observable in natural phenomena, such as natural disasters, or other phenomena, such as network/data/email traffic[3][4] or vehicular traffic.[5] Burstiness is, in part, due to changes in the probability distribution of inter-event times.[6] Distributions of bursty processes or events are characterised by heavy, or fat, tails.[1]
