The only time I've heard this used is in biology. It's also called
noise analysis there. Basically it is statistical parameter
estimation, and in what I saw the underlying process was a Markov
chain or function of a Markov chain with some noise shoved onto it.
Basically it involves computing whatever stats you have to to get
parameter estimates, for instance sample moments, power spectrum etc.

I'm probably way off track.
