Consider a particle influenced by both drift and diffusion. Write the form of the Fokker-Planck equation governing the particle’s position given specific drift A(x) = x and diffusion B(x) = 1.
💡 Hint: Make sure to include all relevant components of drift and diffusion.
Using real-world data, model the influence of noise on signal transmission characterized by a Gaussian distribution. Describe how the Fokker-Planck equation can help predict outcomes.
💡 Hint: Consider how to gather your data and how PDFs for noise influence signal reliability.
