Introduction to Statistical Signal Processing
"A random or stochastic process is a mathematical model for a phenomenon that evolves in time in an unpredictable manner from the viewpoint of the observer. The phenomenon may be a sequence of real-valued measurements of voltage or temperature, a binary data stream from a computer, a modulated binary data stream from a modem, a sequence of coin tosses, the daily Dow–Jones average, radiometer data or photographs from deep space probes, a sequence of images from a cable television, or any of an infinite number of possible sequences, waveforms, or signals of any imaginable type. It may be unpredictable because of such effects as interference or noise in a communication link or storage medium, or it may be an information-bearing signal, deterministic from the viewpoint of an observer at the transmitter but random to an observer at the receiver."
