gen_wn: Generate a Gaussian White Noise Process (WN(\(\sigma ^2\)))

Description

Simulates a Gaussian White Noise Process with variance parameter \(\sigma ^2\).

Usage

gen_wn(N, sigma2 = 1)

Value

wn A vec containing the white noise.

Arguments

N

An integer for signal length.

sigma2

A double that contains process variance.

Process Definition

Gaussian White Noise (WN) with parameter \(\sigma^2 \in {\rm I\!R}^{+}\). This process is defined as \(X_t\sim N(0,\sigma^2)\) and is sometimes referred to as Angle (Velocity) Random Walk.

Generation Algorithm

To generate the Gaussian White Noise (WN) process, we first obtain the standard deviation from the variance by taking a square root. Then, we sample \(N\) times from a \(N(0,\sigma ^2)\) distribution.
