Noise-Driven Return Statistics: Scaling and Truncation in Stochastic Storage Processes

Abstract In countless systems, subjected to variable forcing, a key question arises: how much time will a state variable spend away from a given threshold? When forcing is treated as a stochastic process, this can be addressed with first return time distributions. While many studies suggest exponent...
