Abstract
The well-known problem of least squares prediction of the stationary stochastic process x (t) is the problem of finding the functional \(\widetilde{x}(\tau )\) of the values x (t), t ≦ 0, which is the least squares approximation of the “future” value of the process x (τ), τ > 0. In addition to the functional \(\widetilde{x}(\tau )\) it is important to know the mean square error of the prediction
or, what is equivalent, the correlation coefficient
between x (τ) and \(\widetilde{x}(\tau )\) [here and later we can consider without loss of generality only the processes x (t) with Ex (t) = 0]. If the process x (t) is Gaussian, the least squares approximation \(\widetilde{x}(\tau )\) is linear; therefore, we can say that the problem of linear least squares prediction of the stationary process x (t) is the wide sense version of the general problem of least squares prediction (see Doob [1], Chapter II Section 3).
