An ergodic sequence typically refers to a sequence of random variables or a time series in the context of ergodic theory, which is a branch of mathematics and statistical mechanics. In simple terms, a sequence (or process) is said to be ergodic if, over a long period of time (or a large sample size), its time averages converge to the same value as its ensemble averages.
