Expectation of product of 3 samples of WSS Gaussian process

20 Views Asked by At

Suppose $X_n$ is a WSS Gaussian stochastic process with(every subsample of the process is jointly gaussian):

  • $E[X_n]=\mu$ for all n
  • $R_{xx}[l] $ is the autocorrelation function

I wish to calculate : $E[X_{n_1}\cdot X_{n_2} \cdot X_{n_3}]$ for $n_1 \neq n_2 \neq n_3$.

Would this be the same as calculating the third moment of a single gaussian R.V distributed as $N(\mu,R_{xx}[0] )$ ? (which is $\mu^3+ 3\sigma^2\mu,$ where $\sigma^2 = R_{xx}[0]$)

If so, why?
