The results are derived using a basic property of orthogonal projections which leads to very simple derivations of the standard versions of the algorithms. As an application of the results, we obtain new and easily applied algorithms for the recursive calculation of the best linear h-step predictors (for any fixed h > 0) of an arbitrary process with known mean and covariance function.
