Asymptotic normality of sample autocovariances with an application in frequency estimation. (English) Zbl 0814.62056

Summary: The asymptotic normality of sample autocovariances is proved for time series with mixed-spectra, which extends the classical results of Bartlett for linear processes. It is also shown that the asymptotic normality remains valid after linear filtering, if the filter is strictly stable so that the end-point effect of finite samples can be ignored. The developed theory is then employed to establish the asymptotic normality of a recently proposed fast frequency estimation procedure.
