===Sample function=== A '''sample function''' is a single [[Outcome (probability)|outcome]] of a stochastic process, so it is formed by taking a single possible value of each random variable of the stochastic process.<ref name="Lamperti1977page1"/><ref name="Florescu2014page296">{{cite book|author=Ionut Florescu|title=Probability and Stochastic Processes|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z5xEBQAAQBAJ&pg=PR22|year=2014|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=978-1-118-59320-2|page=296}}</ref> More precisely, if <math>\{X(t,\omega):t\in T \}</math> is a stochastic process, then for any point <math>\omega\in\Omega</math>, the [[Map (mathematics)|mapping]] <div class="center"><math> X(\cdot,\omega): T \rightarrow S, </math></div> is called a sample function, a '''realization''', or, particularly when <math>T</math> is interpreted as time, a '''sample path''' of the stochastic process <math>\{X(t,\omega):t\in T \}</math>.<ref name="RogersWilliams2000page121b">{{cite book|author1=L.
