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

Second moment ergodicity of gaussian random process
How can I prove that a WSS Gaussian stochastic process with mean 0 is
mean-square ergodic in the second moment if and only if:
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=0}^n r_{xx}^2(k) = 0$$
When $...

Is the output of function of two ergodic processes ergodic?
Let $\{\xi_k\}_{k\in \mathbf{Z}}$ and $\{\epsilon_k\}_{k\in \mathbf{Z}}$ be two independent zero-mean Gaussian processes (i.i.d.). Is the output of the function $f$ such that $y = f(\dots,\xi_{k-1},\...

Is ergodic in mean a property defined only for WSS stochastic processes?
I understand the definition of a random process $X(t)$ being ergodic in mean (first-order ergodic) is that the expectation of the sample mean $<u_X>_T=\frac{1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}...
