1 Preliminaries Let fX t g be a discrete-time stochastic process. Throughout, we will assume that any process fX t g is indexed by the integers or some subset of the integers (for example, the positive integers). In practice, we observe a nite length sample (or time series) X 1 ; ; X n from fX t g. (In this presentation, we will distinguish between a stochastic process fX t g and a nite time se...
