Wold decomposition

Three series simulated from the same innovations. From Dependence along a series.
Type Theorem
Taught in Dependence along a series
Part Time series

If \{X_t\} is weakly stationary with mean zero, then X_t=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty} a_j\varepsilon_{t-j}+\nu_t, where the \varepsilon_t are uncorrelated with mean zero and variance \sigma^2, the coefficients a_j are constants, \nu_t is linearly determined by its own past, and the innovations are uncorrelated with \nu_t. If the mean is \mu, add \mu to the right-hand side.
