Berry-Esseen theorems under weak dependence

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let XkkgeqmathbbZ be a stationary sequence. Given pin(2,3] moments and a mild weak dependence condition, we show a Berry-Esseen theorem with optimal rate np/2−1. For pgeq4, we also show a convergence rate of n1/2 in mathcalLq-norm, where qgeq1. Up to logn factors, we also obtain nonuniform rates for any p>2. This leads to new optimal results for many linear and nonlinear processes from the time series literature, but also includes examples from dynamical system theory. The proofs are based on a hybrid method of characteristic functions, coupling and conditioning arguments and ideal metrics.


Let \(\{\varepsilon_k \}\) be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. Let \(X_k = g_k(\varepsilon_k, \varepsilon_{k-1}, \ldots)\) for real valued functions \(\{ g_k \}\), so that \(\{X_k \}\) is a zero mean, stationary, causal process. This class of processes includes many widely used linear and nonlinear processes such as \(m\)-dependent processes, ARMA and GARCH time series models and models used for dynamical systems. Assuming moments up to order \(p \in (2,3]\) and mild weak dependence conditions, optimal Berry-Esseen rate results, convergence rates in \(L^q\)-norm, and non-uniform bounds are established relating the distribution function of the normed sum \(S_n = \sum_{k=1}^n \;X_k\) to that of a standard normal variable. As a corollary, results related to the rate of convergence of moments analogous to those for the i.\,i.\,d. case developed by \textit{P. Hall} [Ann. Probab. 10, 1004--1018 (1982; Zbl 0516.60025)] are obtained for sums of dependent random variables. The proofs of the theorems utilize characteristic functions, coupling, conditioning arguments and ideal metrics, and proceed via an \(m\)-dependent approximation method where \(m \rightarrow \infty\).
