 ## Stationary Processes
 
 - For Renewal process `log(R_t)` in the long run a fluctuation of 0.75 (e.g. ~ 75% of the mean) is not unexpected.
-- For Exponential Growth Rate process `r_t` in the long run a fluctuation of 0.1 is not unexpected e.g. going from
-`rt = 0.1` (7 day doubling time) to `rt = -0.1` (7 day halving time) is a 0.1 fluctuation.
-- For Direct Infections process `log(I_t)` in the long run a fluctuation of 1.0 (i.e an order of magnitude) is not unexpected.
+- For Exponential Growth Rate process `r_t` in the long run a fluctuation of 0.2 is not unexpected e.g. going from
+`rt = 0.1` (7 day doubling time) to `rt = -0.1` (7 day halving time) is a 0.2 time-to-time fluctuation.
+- For Direct Infections process `log(I_t)` in the long run a fluctuation of 2.0 (i.e a couple of orders of magnitude) is not unexpected.
 
-For stationary Direct Infections process the autocorrelation is expected to be fairly high at 0.5,
+For stationary latent processes Direct Infections and rt processes the autocorrelation is expected to be high at 0.9,
 because persistence in residual away from mean is expected. Otherwise, the autocorrelation is expected to be 0.1.
