Abstract: Let Xii=−inftyinfty be a sequence of random vectors and Yin=fin(mathcalXi,ell) be zero mean block-variables where mathcalXi,ell=(Xi,...,Xi+ell−1),igeq1, are overlapping blocks of length ell and where fin are Borel measurable functions. This paper establishes valid joint asymptotic expansions of general orders for the joint distribution of the sums sumi=1nXi and sumi=1nYin under weak dependence conditions on the sequence Xii=−inftyinfty when the block length ell grows to infinity. In contrast to the classical Edgeworth expansion results where the terms in the expansions are given by powers of n−1/2, the expansions derived here are mixtures of two series, one in powers of n−1/2 and the other in powers of [fracnell]−1/2. Applications of the main results to (i) expansions for Studentized statistics of time series data and (ii) second order correctness of the blocks of blocks bootstrap method are given.


Let \(\{X_i\}^{\infty}_{-\infty}\) be a sequence of random variables and \(Y_{in}= f_{in}(X_i, \dots,X_{i +k-1}), i \geq 1\) be zero mean block-variables of length \(k.\) The author obtains valid joint asymptotic expansions for the joint distributions of \((\sum_{i=1}^nX_i, \sum_{i=1}^nY_{in})\) under weak dependence conditions on the sequence \(\{X_i\}^{\infty}_{-\infty}\) when the block length level \(k\) grows to infinity. Some applications are discussed.
