Weak Dependence: With Examples and Applications

This monograph is aimed at developing Doukhan/Louhichi's (1999) idea to measure asymptotic independence of a random process. The authors propose various examples of models fitting such conditions such as stable Markov chains, dynamical systems or more complicated models, nonlinear, non-Markovian, and heteroskedastic models with infinite memory. Most of the commonly used stationary models fit their conditions. The simplicity of the conditions is also their strength. The main tools for an asymptotic theory are developed under weak dependence. They apply the theory to nonparametric statistics, spectral analysis, econometrics, and resampling. The level of generality makes those techniques quite robust with respect to the model. The limit theorems are sometimes sharp and always simple to apply. The theory (with proofs) is developed and the authors propose to fix the notation for future applications. Several applications are still needed to develop a method of analysis for (nonlinear) times series and they provide here a strong basis for such studies.

Make it simple to read and thus the mathematical level needed is as low as possible Aimed to fix the notions in the area in development May be considered as an introduction to weak dependence Propose models and tools for practitioners hence the sections devoted to examples are really extensive Some of the already developed applications are also quoted for completeness Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
