From nonstationarity to stationarity via $1/f$ noise: discrete Fourier transforms and sample mean asymptotics for testing
经由 1/f 噪声连接非平稳与平稳:离散傅里叶变换及样本均值检验渐近理论
We study the asymptotic behaviour of different statistics for time series exhibiting long memory and nonstationarity. For processes with memory parameter $d\in(-1/2,3/2)$, we derive the joint limiting distribution of discrete Fourier transforms at a fixed number of Fourier frequencies, with a unified normalization. The resulting limits are Gaussian with an explicit covariance structure. Particular attention is given to the boundary case $d=1/2$, also known as $1/f$ noise. We…
