In this chapter we further comment on the sharpness of several results presented in this monograph, by presenting examples and counterexamples. We study first the moment properties of the renewal Markov chain introduced in Chapter 11. This allows us to show that the Maxwell–Woodroofe projective condition introduced in Chapter 4 is essentially optimal for the partial sums of a stationary sequence in L2 to satisfy the central limit theorem under the standard normalization √n. Moreover, we also investigate the sharpness of the Burkholder-type inequality developed in Chapter 3 via Maxwell–Woodroofe-type characteristics. In the last part of this chapter, we analyze several telescopic-type examples allowing us to elucidate the fact that a CLT behavior does not imply its functional form under any normalization. Even in the case when the variance of the partial sums is linear in n, the CLT does not necessarily imply the invariance principle.

Equivalence of rates of convergence in the central limit theorem for the vector of maximum sums and the corresponding first-passage variables is established. A similar result for the vector of partial sums and the corresponding renewal variables is also given. The results extend to several dimensions the bivariate results of Ahmad (1981).

Let X1, X2,…be independent and identically distributed non-lattice random variables with zero, varianceσ2<∞, and partial sums Sn = X1+X2+…+X.

Combining Feller's criterion with a non-uniform estimate result in the context of the Central Limit Theorem for partial sums of independent random variables, we obtain several results on the Law of the Iterated Logarithm. Two of these results refine corresponding results of Wittmann (1985) and Egorov (1971). In addition, these results are compared with the corresponding results of Teicher (1974), Tomkins (1983) and Tomkins (1990)

An I(0) process is commonly defined as a process that satisfies a functional central limit theorem, i.e., whose scaled partial sums converge weakly to a Wiener process, and an I(1) process as a process whose first differences are I(0). This paper establishes that with this definition, it is impossible to consistently discriminate between I(0) and I(1) processes. At the same time, on a more constructive note, there exist consistent unit root tests and also nontrivial inconsistent stationarity tests with correct asymptotic size.
