- 19. Series Representation of Stochastic Processes
Given information about a stochastic process X(t) in can this continuous information be represented in terms of a countable set of random variables whose relative importance decrease under some arrangement? To appreciate this question it is best to start with the notion of a Mean-Square periodic process. A stochastic process X(t) is said to be mean square (M.S) periodic, if for some T > 0 i.e Suppose X(t) is a W.S.S process. Then Proof: suppose X(t) is M.S. periodic. Then , T t ≤ ≤ (19-1) . all for ] ) ( ) ( [
