Expectation on the product of two random processes

294 Views Asked by At

As the title said, how to calculate the expectation on the product of two random processes as follows:

$E\left[R(\mathbb{x})R'(\mathbb{x})\right]$, where $R(\mathbb{x})$ and $R'(\mathbb{x})$ represent two different Gaussian processes, and $\mathbb{x}$ is random variable vector.

The two different Gaussian processes are defined as:

$R(\mathbb{x})\sim \mathcal{N}(M(\mathbb{x}),C((\mathbb{x}))$

$R'(\mathbb{x})\sim \mathcal{N}(M'(\mathbb{x}),C'((\mathbb{x}))$

where $M(\mathbb{x})$ and $M'(\mathbb{x})$ are two different mean functions with respect to random variable vector $\mathbb{x}$; and $C(\mathbb{x})$ and $C'(\mathbb{x})$ are two different variance functions.
