Adjective
memoryless (not comparable)
(probability theory) Of a probability distribution, such that any derived probability from a set of random samples is distinct and has no information (i.e. "memory") of earlier samples.
Because of the memoryless property of this distribution, it is well-suited to model the constant hazard rate portion of the bathtub curve used in reliability theory. Source: Internet
For memoryless sources, this is merely the entropy of each symbol, while, in the case of a stationary stochastic process, it is : that is, the conditional entropy of a symbol given all the previous symbols generated. Source: Internet
Many communication channels are not memoryless: errors typically occur in bursts rather than independently. Source: Internet
The geometric distribution is the only memoryless discrete distribution. Source: Internet
