15. An arbitrary random process can always be reduced to a set of uncorrelated coefficients (“whitened”) by the Karhunen-Loève expansion. Signals are affected by the whitening; however, the only place where this could have an adverse effect here is if the whitening were reducing the amount of clustering of astrophysical signals.
16. The Neyman-Pearson lemma shows that Eq. (3) is optimal when choosing between Eqs. (1) and (2); for the model (Formula presented) with (Formula presented) Eq. (3) is the most efficient estimator for A, in the sense of being unbiased and of achieving the minimum possible mean square error (from the Fisher information, this is (Formula presented): (Formula presented)

Rules to use the Itô integral (Formula presented) are similar to those for normal integration, except that second order terms in the increment (Formula presented) are preserved, corresponding to the fact the these increments are (Formula presented) for a Wiener process.
