    Introduction 2 If a physical phenomenon of interest is random‚ then each time history measurement x(t) of that phenomenon represents a unique set of circumstances which is not Iikely to be repeated in other independent measurements of that same phenomenon. Hence‚ to completely define all properties of the phenomenon‚ it is necessary to conceptually think in terms of all the time history measurements {x(t)} that might have been made. For the usual case of engineering interest where the phenomenon
