Abstract

Let XX be a continuous-time strongly mixing or weakly dependent process and TT a renewal process independent of XX with inter-arrival times τ\tau. We show general conditions under which the sampled process (XTi,TiTi1)(X_{T_i},T_i-T_{i-1})^{\top} is strongly mixing or weakly dependent. Moreover, we explicitly compute the strong mixing or weak dependence coefficients of the renewal sampled process and show that exponential or power decay of the coefficients of XX is preserved (at least asymptotically). Our results imply that essentially all central limit theorems available in the literature for strongly mixing or weakly dependent processes can be applied when renewal sampled observations of the process XX are at disposal.
