Stationary but not ergodic process

<t>The idea is the following:(for the first process)ensemble average E[Yt]=E[Gt]+E[F] = 0.5 + 0time average y(super bar) = 1/n *( the Sum of G) + F = so the time average is equal to 0.5 + F. F is equal to 0 with probability 0 so the time average and the ensamble average are not the same and the proc...

Stationary but not ergodic process

<t>Hi all,A question about Stationarity.If Y(t) = G(t) + F where G is distributed as (independent) Uniform [0,1] and F is distributed as (independent) N(0,1) with E[G(t)F] =0 the process is stationary but not ergodic.If Y(t) = G(t) + F(t) where G is distributed as (independent) Uniform [0,1] and F i...
