Preferred term

ergodic process  

Definition

  • In physics, statistics, econometrics and signal processing, a stochastic process is said to be in an ergodic regime if an observable's ensemble average equals the time average. In this regime, any collection of random samples from a process must represent the average statistical properties of the entire regime. Conversely, a process that is not in ergodic regime is said to be in non-ergodic regime. (Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergodic_process)
