In line with critical duration concept, the recommended approach suggests taking an envelope of model results to determine the rainfall duration that results in the maximum value--rather than treating the duration as a stochastic variable. More guidance can be found in Chapter 4 of ARR (Nathan and Ling 2016; Nathan and Weinmann 2016), resulting from an earlier discussion paper by Nathan and Weinmann (2013); however, other reviews of previous applications and theory are also available.

The stochastic variable [[??].sub.ip] for each input can be expressed as [[??].sub.ip] = [[bar.x].sub.ip] + [a.sub.ip][xi], in which p has variation [1,b] and i has variation [1,n].
In the GBM, variable P follows a lognormal distribution, since the percentage rate of variation of the stochastic variable (dP/P) follows a normal distribution with the mean and variance shown below:
Most of the existing works usually consider the trust values at the current time slot, and model trust as the stochastic variable. However, in fact, trust evolves over time, and trust is a stochastic process.
It is proved that the state x(k) is uncorrelated with the stochastic variable sequence [{w(k)}.sub.k [greater than or equal to] 0].
Step 2.The second step is to calculate the random component of each stochastic variable. The random component is simply the residual from the predicted or non-random component of the variable.
This paper will focus mainly on the analytical evaluation of the average number of individuals <x(t)>, exploiting the properties of the correlation function of the stochastic variable [xi](t) without using the probability density p(x,t).
E(x) denotes the expectation of stochastic variable. [I.sub.N]/[I.sub.m] = {m + 1, ..., N}.
The following theorem characterizes the distribution of the stochastic variable X([theta]).
