Abstract: | Let f be the spectral density function of a purely nondeterministic stationary stochastic process and be the optimal (canonical) fator of f. The role of the coefficients cn and dn (n ≥ 0) of φ and φ?1 respectivey, in prediction, filtering and control theory is well-knwn. We show that the cn's and dn's can be obtained recursively in terms of the Fourier coefficients of log f. Also, recursive and updating formulae fr the kolmogorovwiener predictor similar to those Box-Jenkins are provided.. |
