Abstract
The linear Gaussian white noise process (LGWNP) is an independent and identically distributed ( iid ) sequence with zero mean and finite variance with distribution . Some processes, such as the simple bilinear white noise process (SBWNP), have the same covariance structure like the LGWNP. How can these two processes be distinguished and/or compared? If is a realization of the SBWNP . This paper studies in detail the covariance structure of . It is shown from this study that; 1) the covariance structure of is non-normal with distribution equivalent to the linear ARMA(2, 1) model ; 2) the covariance structure of is iid ; 3) the variance of can be used for comparison of SBWNP and LGWNP.
