Abstract
We present an intrinsic metric that quantifies distances between power spectral density functions. The metric was derived by Georgiou as the geodesic distance between spectral density functions with respect to a particular pseudo-Riemannian metric motivated by a quadratic prediction problem. We provide an independent verification of the metric inequality and discuss certain key properties of the induced topology.
