Abstract

For a time series, a plot of sample covariances is a popular way to assess its dependence properties. In this paper we give a systematic characterization of the asymptotic behavior of sample covariances of long-memory linear processes. Central and noncentral limit theorems are obtained for sample covariances with bounded as well as unbounded lags. It is shown that the limiting distribution depends in a very interesting way on the strength of dependence, the heavy-tailedness of the innovations, and the magnitude of the lags.
