Abstract
We present a scheme to accurately calculate the persistence probabilities on sequences of heights above a level from the measured points of the height-height correlation function of a fluctuating interface. The calculated persistence probabilities compare very well with the measured persistence probabilities of a fluctuating phase-separated colloidal interface for the whole experimental range.
