= Residence time (statistics)
{wiki=Residence_time_(statistics)}
Residence time in statistics, particularly in the context of queues, systems, or processes, refers to the average amount of time that an entity (like a customer, particle, or molecule) spends in a defined system or process from entry to exit. It can be used in various fields, including ecology, physics, and engineering. In queueing theory, for example, residence time may encompass the time spent waiting in a queue and the time spent being serviced.
