Variance of partial sums of stationary sequences

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let X1,X2,ldots be a centred sequence of weakly stationary random variables with spectral measure F and partial sums Sn=X1+cdots+Xn. We show that operatornamevar(Sn) is regularly varying of index gamma at infinity, if and only if G(x):=int−xxF(mathrmdx) is regularly varying of index 2−gamma at the origin (0<gamma<2).


The authors give necessary and sufficient conditions for the variance of partial sums of centered sequences of weakly stationary random variables to be regularly varying of index \(\gamma\) at infinity. The authors derive lower and upper bounds for the variance of partial sums and use them to prove the main result of this paper.
