1. The Empirical FT.
What is the large sample distribution of the EFT?

2. The complex normal.

3. Theorem. Suppose p.p. N is stationary mixing, then

4. Proof. Write
Evaluate first and second-order cumulants
Bound higher cumulants
Normal is determined by its moments

5. Consider

6. Comments.
Already used to study rate estimate
Tapering makes
Get asymp independence for different frequencies
The frequencies 2r/T are special, e.g. T(2r/T)=0, r 0
Also get asymp independence if consider separate stretches
p-vector version involves p by p spectral density matrix fNN( )

7. Estimation of the (power) spectrum.
An estimate whose limit is a random variable

8. Some moments.
The estimate is asymptotically unbiased
Final term drops out if  = 2r/T  0
Best to correct for mean, work with

9. Periodogram values are asymptotically independent since dT values are -
independent exponentials
Use to form estimates

12. Approximate marginal confidence intervals

13. More on choice of L

14. Approximation to bias

15. Indirect estimate
Could approximate p.p. by 0-1 time series and use t.s. estimate
choice of cells?

16. Estimation of finite dimensional .
approximate likelihood (assuming IT values independent exponentials)

17. Bivariate case.

18. Crossperiodogram.
Smoothed periodogram.

19. Complex Wishart

20. Predicting N via M

21. Plug in estimates.

22. Large sample distributions.
var log|AT|  [|R|-2 -1]/L
var argAT  [|R|-2 -1]/L

23. Networks.
partial spectra - trivariate (M,N,O)
Remove linear time invariant effect of M from N and O and examine coherency of residuals,

26. Point process system.
An operation carrying a point process, M, into another, N
N = S[M]
S = {input,mapping, output}
Pr{dN(t)=1|M} = { + a(t-u)dM(u)}dt
System identification: determining the charcteristics of a system from inputs and corresponding outputs
{M(t),N(t);0 t<T}
Like regression vs. bivariate

28. Realizable case.
a(u) = 0 u<0
A() is of special form
e.g. N(t) = M(t-)
arg A( ) = -

29. Advantages of frequency domain approach.
techniques formany stationary processes look the same
approximate i.i.d sample values
assessing models (character of departure)
time varying variant
