### Intuitive definition of ergodicity for random signal

Is it possible to define the ergodicity of the random signal in an intuitive sense without using any statistical reference?

### A check on the definition of the continuous periodogram, and does it assume ergodicity somewhere?

Can someone verify my understanding of what the continuous periodogram is/means, and please tell me if I say something wrong: As I've learned so far, the power spectral density of a wide-sense ...

### Why the requirement of the GCD of the lengths of all circuits in the graph being one?

I am reading A Mathematical Theory of Communication. The second requirement of an ergodic process confuses me (emphasis mine): All the examples of artificial languages given above are ergodic. This ...

### Autocorrelation of a uniform random process

i am currently learning the basics of signal processing. As you may know the definition of the autocorrelation is different if you look at a random process or for example a deterministic signal My ...

### Assessing relative wireless channel quality using Capacity and Condition Number CDFs

I have Channel capacity analysis figures for two wireless channels show below: My question: While ergodic capacity in the first subplots are very clear in conveying the channel capacity, How to make ...

### Question regarding AC power of ergodic process

We know Ergodic process is the subset of Weakly stationary process which permits us to substitute time average for ensemble Average My teacher said If $X(t)$ is Ergodic random process then following ...

### Can this be considered wide sense stationary?

I was discussing this problem with one of my classmates. The picture shows a recording of the heart rate during before and after sleep. Can the whole process be considered wide sense stationary? (I ...

### What's the meaning of ergodicity? [duplicate]

I just read the topic about Ergodicity but I have ambiguity about its meaning (by intuition). What does mean: (for mean) Statistical average = Time average. Could you please explain it in detail. ...

### What is a good example of an ergodic process?

I'm trying to find simple examples of an ergodic process. What process comes to your mind as a good illustration of its properties? A quick research (Wikipedia, another answer) mainly gives examples ...

### Ergodicity of joint process

If we have two processes and both of them are ergodic. Does this mean that the joint proces is ergodic? Or other way around? If we have the dynamics for both components of the joint process what are ...

### Understanding Ergodicity and Ensemble Averaging

Literature says that a stationary signal is ergodic, if its ensemble average = time averages. Should it be the statistics computed by time averaging = statistics computed by ensemble averaging?The way ...

### How to show that an ergodic process must be a strict-sense stationary one? [duplicate]

I have trouble to distinguish these two concepts namely ergodic process and strict-sense stationary process. I look at one of the books about the signal processing that says an ergodic process must be ...
