English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
CONT

Deterministic : A type of signal whose spectrum consists of a collection of discrete components, as opposed to a random signal, whose spectrum is spread out or "smeared" in frequency. Some deterministic signals are periodic and their spectra consist of harmonic series. Vibration signatures of machines are in general deterministic, containing one or more harmonic series, but they always have non-deterministic components, such as background noise.

Record 3 1998-08-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Probability (Statistics)
CONT

If we regard economic time-series from a more realistic point of view we may consider them not as a sum of a number of ’pure’ harmonic wave, but as oscillatory systems incorporating a continuous stream of external shocks influencing both the period and the amplitude of the periodic functions whose every term partly depends on the one immediately preceding it, such series are called autoregressive series.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Probabilités (Statistique)
CONT

Si nous analysons les séries chronologiques économiques d'un point de vue plus réaliste, nous pouvons les considérer non pas comme la somme d'une série d'harmoniques 'pure' superposées, mais comme un système oscillatoire assujetti à une série continue de chocs extérieurs influençant aussi bien la période que l'amplitude des fonctions périodiques dont chaque terme dépend en partie du terme qui le précède immédiatement : de telles séries sont appelées séries autorégressives.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Probabilidad (Estadística)
DEF

Resultante de un proceso autorregresivo.
