Abstract
We construct a family of random step functions
whose members all have the same power spectrum and such that as
converges to
, the Gaussian process with the same spectrum. We illustrate the procedure for calculating the general multivariate distribution of the processes
by calculating the univariate, bivariate and trivariate distributions. We show how a suitably constructed univariate entropy can serve as an index of the extent to which
has approached the Gaussian limit
