Abstract

A solution is obtained for the signal-noise problem X = M + Z in which M and Z are independent Gaussian processes. Conditions on the processes are given which insure that the best estimate under generalized square — error loss is the conditional mean of M given X = x. A sequence of approximators of the best estimate is also given.
