Correlation coefficient of a WSS process












0












$begingroup$


Could someone please tell me why the correlation coefficient of a WSS process is :



$$rho_{XX}(tau) = frac{operatorname{K}_{XX}(tau)}{sigma^2} = frac{operatorname{E}[(X_t - mu)(X_{t+tau} - mu)]}{sigma^2}$$



Instead of :



$$rho_{XX}(tau) = frac{operatorname{K}_{XX}(tau)}{sigma_{t}sigma_{t+tau}} = frac{operatorname{E}[(X_t - mu)(X_{t+tau} - mu)]}{sigma_{t}sigma_{t+tau}} $$



?



Where :$~~~sigma_{t}^2=sigma^2=operatorname{E}[X^2(t)]-operatorname{E}^2[X(t)]$ .



Stated in another way , does a WSS process imply that :



$$operatorname{E}[X^2(t+tau)]=operatorname{E}[X^2(t)]$$ ?

          $begingroup$

          Weak stationary implies that for all fixed $tau$, the function $tmapsto mathbb Eleft[X_{t+tau}X_tright]$ is constant. In particular, choosing $tau=0$ shows that $mathbb Eleft[X_{t+0}X_tright]=mathbb Eleft[X_t^2right]=mathbb Eleft[X_0^2right]$. The other part of the definition of weakly stationary process implies that the expectation of $X_t$ does not depend on $t$ hence we can safely define $sigma^2:=operatorname{Var}left(X_tright)$.
