Long-range dependence has usually been defined in terms of covariance properties relevant only to second-order stationary processes. Here we provide new definitions, almost equivalent to the original ones in that domain of applicability, which are useful for processes which may not be second-order stationary, or indeed have infinite variances. The ready applicability of this formulation for categorizing the behaviour for various infinite variance models is shown.

A new treatment of second-order self-similarity and asymptotic self-similarity for stationary discrete time series is given, based on the fixed points of a renormalisation operator with normalisation factors which are not assumed to be power laws. A complete classification of fixed points is provided, consisting of the fractional noise and one other class. A convenient variance time function approach to process characterisation is used to exhibit large explicit families of processes asymptotic to particular fixed points. A natural, general definition of discrete long-range dependence is provided and contrasted with common alternatives. The closely related discrete form of regular variation is defined, its main properties given, and its connection to discrete self-similarity explained. Folkloric results on long-range dependence are proved or disproved rigorously.

This paper presents some stationary and stationary increment models for fractional Riesz-Bessel motion which permits the study of the effects of long-range dependence and second-order intermittency simultaneously. These effects are important features of data in finance and turbulence.

A positive recurrent, aperiodic Markov chain is said to be long-range dependent (LRD) when the indicator function of a particular state is LRD. This happens if and only if the return time distribution for that state has infinite variance. We investigate the question of whether other instantaneous functions of the Markov chain also inherit this property. We provide conditions under which the function has the same degree of long-range dependence as the chain itself. We illustrate our results through three examples in diverse fields: queueing networks, source compression, and finance.

Superpositions of Ornstein Uhlenbeck processes provide convenient ways to build stationary processes with given marginal distributions and long range dependence. After reviewing some of the basic features, we present several examples of processes with non Gaussian marginal distributions. Estimation of the parameters of the marginal distribution is undertaken by means of a characteristic function technique. We provide the relevant asymptotic theory as well as results of simulations and real data applications.
