Time-reversibility of linear stochastic processes

Gideon Weiss

doi:10.2307/3212735

Abstract

Time-reversibility is defined for a process X(t) as the property that {X(t1), …, X(tn)} and {X(– t1), …, X(– tn)} have the same joint probability distribution. It is shown that, for discrete mixed autoregressive moving-average processes, this is a unique property of Gaussian processes.
