Chapter 3 Probability Fundamentals

Section 3.2.3 Joint Moment-Generating and Characteristic Functions

• Page 63: The LHS of the last moment generating function should read: $\frac{{\partial }^{2}m(s,t)}{\partial s\partial t}=\int \int xy{e}^{sx+ty}p(x,y)dxdy$

Chapter 5: Stationary Random Processes

Section 5.1.3 Correlation Coefficient Functions

• Page 126: The second line should read: If either ${\mu }_x$ or ${\mu }_y$ is equal to zero...

Section 5.2.1: Spectra via Correlation Functions

• Page 128: The last of Equations (5.27) should read: $S_{xy}\left(f\right)=\underset{-\mathrm{\infty }}{\overset{\mathrm{\infty }}{\int }}{R}_{xy}\left(\tau \right)e^{-j2\pi f\tau }d\tau$

Chapter 6: Single-Input/Output Relationships

Section 6.1: Single-Input/Single-Output Models

• Page 193: Equation (6.24) should read: $H\left(f\right)=\frac{G_{yy}\left(f\right)}{G_{yx}\left(f\right)}$

Section 6.1.3: Models with Extraneous Noise

• Page 200: First equation in Equation (6.34) should read: $G_{xx}\left(f\right)=G_{uu}\left(f\right)+G_{mm}\left(f\right)+G_{um}\left(f\right)+G_{mu}\left(f\right)$
