In this paper, multivariate strict sense stationary stochastic processes are considered. It is shown that there exists a universal function by means of which the conditional expectation of any stationary process with respect to its past can be represented. This requires no ergodicity assumptions. The important implications of this result in the evaluation of the achievable performance in certain dynamic estimation problems with incomplete statistical information are also discussed.

An extension of the class of strict sense stationary processes is studied. The extended class represents the strict sense analogy of an extension of wide sense stationary processes considered in an earlier paper [9]. The relations between the various types of processes defined are investigated in the general and in the Gaussian case, and some examples are given. It is shown that associated with a process belonging to the extended class there is a strict sense stationary process. The associated strict sense stationary process is unique iff the original process is ergodic.

By using the alternating projection theorem of J. von Neumann, we obtain explicit formulae for the best linear interpolator and interpolation error of missing values of a stationary process. These are expressed in terms of multistep predictors and autoregressive parameters of the process. The key idea is to approximate the future by a finite-dimensional space.

A sufficiently large finite second-order stationary time series process on a line has approximately the same eigenvalues and eigenvectors of its dispersion matrix as its counterpart on a circle. It is shown here that this result can be extended to second-order stationary processes on a d-dimensional lattice.

It has recently emerged that a convenient way to establish central limit and iterated logarithm results for processes with stationary increments is to use approximating martingales with stationary increments. Functional forms of the limit results can be obtained via a representation for the increments of the stationary process in terms of stationary martingale differences plus other terms whose sum telescopes and disappears under suitable norming. Results based on the most general form of such a representation are here obtained.

In 1964, L. J. Herbst (3) introduced the generalized spectral density Function1for a non-stationary process {X(t)} denned by1where {η(t)} is a real Gaussian stationary process of discrete parameter and independent variates, the (a;)'s and (σj)'s being constants, the latter, which are ordered in time, having their moduli less than a positive number M.

We shall discuss the sample path continuity of a stationary process assuming that the spectral distribution function F(λ) is given. Many kinds of sufficient conditions have been given in terms of the covariance function or the asymptotic behavior of the spectral distribution function.

A new method for obtaining spectral-like representations for a large class of non-stationary random processes is formulated. For a wide sense stationary process X(t) in continuous-time the spectral representation is generated by a self-adjoint operator H such that X(t)= eiHt X(0). Extending certain recently established operator identities for wide sense stationary processes, it is shown that similar operators exist for classes of non-stationary processes. The representation generated by such an operator has the form and it shares some of the properties of the wide sense stationary spectral representation: it is dual in a precisely defined sense to the time domain representation of X(t). There exists a class L of linear transformations of X(t) such that for G ∈ L for some function g determined by G.

A generalization of the orthogonality conditions for a stochastic process to represent strongly stationary processes up to a fixed order is presented. The particular case of non-normal delta correlated processes, and the probabilistic characterization of linear systems subjected to strongly stationary stochastic processes are also discussed.
