Summary
For symmetric stable sequences, notions of innovation and Wold decomposition are introduced, characterized, and their ramifications in prediction theory are discussed. As the usual covariance orthogonality is inapplicable, the non-symmetric James orthogonality is used. This leads to right and left innovations and Wold decompositions, which are related to regression prediction and least p th moment prediction, respectively. Independent innovations and Wold decompositions are also characterized; and several examples illustrating the various decompositions are presented.
