The joint probability mass function (pmf) of two random variables x(t) and x(t+d) within a given interval. How the values of x(t) and x(t+d) depend on the time instances t and t+d, and provides expressions for the pmf of the joint distribution. The document also mentions the concept of independent and stationary increments in the context of random processes.

6.5 a) Within the interval
t ∈ 0,1, X(t) can take only two possible values:
Both of these values are equally likely since A takes on ± 1 with equal
probability.
P X t 1 P X t 1 t 0,
P X t = 0 = 1 ∀ t ∉ 0,
b) For

6.5 c) Here, we have two random variables:
X t and ( )
X t +d
The joint pmf of
X t and ( )
X t + d depends on the time instances (t) and
(t + d).
