Can anyone give me some advice for translating this equation into code
using numpy?
eta(t) = lim(dt - 0) N(0, 1/sqrt(dt)),
where N(a, b) is a Gaussian random variable of mean a and variance b**2.
This is a heuristic definition of a white noise process.
This is an abstract definition. How to express it in numpy will depend on
what you want to do with it. The easiest and most likely thing you could
want would be a time series, with N time steps dt, in which sample i is the
average value of the white noise process from i*dt to (i+1)*dt. This is
very easy to write in numpy:
1/np.sqrt(dt) * np.random.randn(N)
