Gaussian process
A stochastic process is said to bea Gaussian process if all of the members of its f.f.d.(family of finite dimensional distributions) are joint normaldistributions. In other words, for any positive integer ,and any , the joint distribution
of randomvariables
is jointly normal.
As an example, any Wiener process is Gaussian.
Remark. Sometimes, a Gaussian process is known as a Gaussian random field if is a subset, usually an embedded manifold, of , with .
