Abstract

In this paper, multivariate strict sense stationary stochastic processes are considered. It is shown that there exists a universal function by means of which the conditional expectation of any stationary process with respect to its past can be represented. This requires no ergodicity assumptions. The important implications of this result in the evaluation of the achievable performance in certain dynamic estimation problems with incomplete statistical information are also discussed.
