Stationarity

Stabilityin the parameters of a system across time.  In most Gaussian or GLM-basedmodels, this means that the means and correlations are static over time. Stationarity is often phrased in terms of the parameters of a model. For example, a time-series whose mean changes linearly over time could beconsidered stationary in slope, but non-stationary in mean.
