Given Wide Sense Stationary (WSS) processes X and Y that are ergodic to the mean and autocovariance. Under what conditions is the correlation coefficient ergodic to the mean? ie: $lim_{T->\infty} \frac{1}{T} \int_0^T X(\tau)Y(\tau) d\tau$ converges to E[X(t)Y(t)]=constant

1$\begingroup$ @MBaz Oftentimes one estimates the correlation coefficient by averaging the correlation over time. For this to be valid it must be ergodic to the mean. Knowing this allows one to know when this is fine to do. $\endgroup$– roobeeApr 21, 2021 at 1:13
