Mh. Choi et al., QUANTIFYING STOCHASTIC RESONANCE IN BISTABLE SYSTEMS - RESPONSE VS RESIDENCE-TIME DISTRIBUTION-FUNCTIONS, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 57(6), 1998, pp. 6335-6344
A wealth of research on stochastic resonance (SR) during the past deca
de has led to different ways of defining a this phenomenon. Most promi
nent are measures based on the response function and on the residence-
time distribution function. While the theory for the response function
s is well developed, a first fully systematic theory for the residence
-time distribution functions is developed in this paper. Subsequently
we reconsider formerly introduced measures of SR based on the residenc
e-time distribution and compare with those based on the response funct
ion.
