In probability theory, the telegraph process is a memoryless continuous-time stochastic process that shows two distinct values.

It models burst noise (also called popcorn noise or random telegraph signal).

If the two possible states are called a and b, the process can be described by the following master equations:

and

The process is also known under the names Kac process^[1]

, dichotomous random process.^[2]

Properties

Knowledge of an initial state decays exponentially. Therefore, for a time in the remote future, the process will reach the following stationary values, denoted by subscript s:

Mean:

Variance:

One can also calculate a correlation function:

Application

This random process finds wide application in model building:

In physics, spin systems and fluorescence intermittency show dichotomous properties. But especially in single molecule experiments probability distributions featuring algebraic tails are used instead of the exponential distribution implied in all formulas above.
In finance for describing stock prices^[1]
In biology for describing transcription factor binding and unbinding.
