I know what all these words mean, it "makes sense" to me in the sense that I read it and I think "ok.." but I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to use this to get weighted random samples or "generate event times."

So I guess I "understand it" in the sense that it doesn't sound like a foreign language, but I can't apply it in any meaningful way.
