An Introduction to Random Vibrations, Spectral and Wavelet Analysis

David Newland
TLDR
In this paper, the authors introduce the idea of joint probability distributions and average for linear systems and their response to random vibrational signals. But they do not discuss the relationship between these distributions and the average.
