Question:

Define a sequence of correlated random numbers

\[
s_{k}=\alpha s_{k-1}+(1-\alpha) r_{k}
\]

where \(r_{k}\) is a unit-variance, uncorrelated, Gaussian pseudorandom number while \(0<\alpha<1\) defines the range of the correlations. Show that this sequence is Gaussian distributed, with a zero  mean. Determine the variance in terms of \(\alpha\) and compare your result with equation (16.1.2b). Write a code to determine the correlation function (16.1.3). Plot your measured correlation function and compare it to the exact correlation function.
