Martingale Differences

A central limit theorem is proved for dependent stochastic processes. Global heterogeneity of the distribution of the terms is permitted, including asymptotically unbounded moments. The approach is to adapt a CLT for martingale differences due to McLeish and show that suitably defined Bernstein blocks satisfy the required conditions.

And Diffusion

The branching diffusion with immigration is studied. Under general branching and diffusion laws, the process is shown to be mixing, according to Brillinger's definition. Brillinger's central limit theorem for spatially homogeneous mixing processes is generalized to prove that, under a renormalization transformation, the distribution of the branching diffusion with immigration converges to a completely random Gaussian random measure. In addition, the existence of a steady-state distribution is proven in the case of subcritical branching, and this distribution is shown to be mixing. Hence the steady-state random field also obeys a spatial central limit theorem.

Functional Central Limit

After some technical preliminaries, this chapter gives two contrasting proofs of the functional central limit theorem for near‐epoch dependent functions of mixing processes. It goes on to consider variants of the result for nonstationary increments in which the limits are transformed Brownian motions, subject to distortions of the time domain. The multivariate case of the result is also given.

Functional Central Limit

This paper gives new conditions for the functional central limit theorem, and weak convergence of stochastic integrals, for near-epoch-dependent functions of mixing processes. These results have fundamental applications in the theory of unit root testing and cointegrating regressions. The conditions given improve on existing results in the literature in terms of the amount of dependence and heterogeneity permitted, and in particular, these appear to be the first such theorems in which virtually the same assumptions are sufficient for both modes of convergence.
