The notion of ψ-weak dependence and its applications to bootstrapping time series

Abstract

We give an introduction to a notion of weak dependence which is more general than mixing and allows to treat for example processes driven by discrete innovations as they appear with time series bootstrap. As a typical example, we analyze autoregressive processes and their bootstrap analogues in detail and show how weak dependence can be easily derived from a contraction property of the process. Furthermore, we provide an overview of classes of processes possessing the property of weak dependence and describe important probabilistic results under such an assumption.
