Brownian bridge of the Brownian bridge based on the Brownian motion is, for "t" ∈ [0, T] Conversely, for "t" ∈ [0, ∞] The Brownian bridge may also be represented as a Fourier series with stochastic coefficients, as where formula_9 are independent identically distributed standard normal random variables (see the Karhunen–Loève theorem). A Brownian bridge is the result of Donsker's theorem in the area of empirical processes. It is also used in the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test in the area of statistical inference. A standard Wiener process satisfies "W"(0) = 0 and is therefore "tied down" to the origin, but other points are not
Brownian motion in 1908 and Perrin in 1909. The confirmation of Einstein's theory constituted empirical progress for the kinetic theory of heat. In essence, Einstein showed that the motion can be predicted directly from the kinetic model of thermal equilibrium. The importance of the theory lay in the fact that it confirmed the kinetic theory's account of the second law of thermodynamics as being an essentially statistical law. Smoluchowski's theory of Brownian motion starts from the same premise as that of Einstein and derives the same probability distribution "ρ"("x", "t") for the displacement of a Brownian particle along the "x" in time
