A stochastic process is defined as a collection of random variables defined on a common [[probability space]] <math>(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, P)</math>, where <math>\Omega</math> is a [[sample space]], <math>\mathcal{F}</math> is a <math>\sigma</math>-[[Sigma-algebra|algebra]], and <math>P</math> is a [[probability measure]]; and the random variables, indexed by some set <math>T</math>, all take values in the same mathematical space <math>S</math>, which must be [[measurable]] with respect to some <math>\sigma</math>-algebra <math>\Sigma</math>.<ref name="Lamperti1977page1"/> | A stochastic process is defined as a collection of random variables defined on a common [[probability space]] <math>(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, P)</math>, where <math>\Omega</math> is a [[sample space]], <math>\mathcal{F}</math> is a <math>\sigma</math>-[[Sigma-algebra|algebra]], and <math>P</math> is a [[probability measure]]; and the random variables, indexed by some set <math>T</math>, all take values in the same mathematical space <math>S</math>, which must be [[measurable]] with respect to some <math>\sigma</math>-algebra <math>\Sigma</math>.<ref name="Lamperti1977page1"/> |
