Excursion Set Theory

Excursion Set Theory is a mathematical framework in cosmology that belongs to the class of statistical models used to describe the formation and evolution of large-scale structures, specifically distinguishing itself by modeling the growth of density perturbations through random walks in density threshold space to predict halo mass functions.
