Abstract
In this chapter the essential statistical definitions and basic analytical tools for the quantification of random processes are provided. The material, which is based on traditional text, has been selected to serve in the solution of problems arising in aerospace applications and treating measurement and process noise in filtering, smoothing, and prediction operations. These, along with sensors, have often become an integral part of a measurement system.
