Hyper-real <strong>R<strong>and</strong>om</strong> Signal<br />

A <strong>R<strong>and</strong>om</strong> Signal (=<strong>R<strong>and</strong>om</strong> Process) is a <strong>R<strong>and</strong>om</strong><br />

Variable that depends also on the time t :<br />

X(,)<br />

ζ t .<br />

Then, the outcome <strong>of</strong> a Black ball,<br />

ζ =<br />

B<br />

is identified with the outcome <strong>of</strong> drawing one Black ball, <strong>and</strong><br />

one Red ball successively,<br />

<strong>and</strong> with the drawing <strong>of</strong> one Black ball, <strong>and</strong> two Red balls<br />

successively,<br />

For a given outcome ζ 0<br />

is a function <strong>of</strong> t , a Sample Function, or Process Realization.<br />

Example<br />

At time<br />

t = 1, a ball is drawn from a container that has 5<br />

Red balls, <strong>and</strong> 4 Black balls, <strong>and</strong> X(,1)<br />
