A result stating that every zero-mean covariance stationary stochastic process It can be decomposed into a deterministic part and a non-deterministic part; the deterministic part is the optimal linear predictor of based on its lagged values and is uncorrelated with the non-deterministic part, which, in its turn, can be represented as an infiniteorder moving-average process.
