Abstract

Many statistical applications require establishingcentral limit theorems for sums/integrals $S_T(h)=\int_{t \in I_T} h (X_t) {\rm d}t$ or for quadratic forms $Q_T(h)=\int_{t,s \in I_T} \hat{b}(t-s) h (X_t, X_s) {\rm d}s {\rm d}t$, where Xt is a stationaryprocess. A particularly important case is that of Appellpolynomials h(Xt) = Pm(Xt), h(Xt,Xs) = Pm,n (Xt,Xs), since the “Appell expansion rank" determines typically thetype of central limit theorem satisfied by the functionalsST(h), QT(h). We review and extend here to multidimensional indices, along lines conjectured in [F. Avram and M.S. Taqqu, Lect. Notes Statist. 187 (2006) 259–286], a functionalanalysis approach to this problem proposed by [Avram and Brown, Proc. Amer.Math. Soc. 107 (1989) 687–695] based on the method of cumulants and on integrabilityassumptions in the spectral domain; several applications arepresented as well.
