U-statistics of local sample moments under weak dependence

Probability 2024-08-27 v2 Statistics Theory Statistics Theory

Abstract

In this paper, we study the asymptotic distribution of some U-statistics whose entries are functions of empirical moments computed from non-overlapping consecutive blocks of an underlying weakly dependent process. The length of these blocks converges to infinity, and thus we consider U-statistics of triangular arrays. We establish asymptotic normality of such U-statistics. The results can be used to construct tests for changes of higher order moments.
