We use the technique to examine the asymptotic behavior of lag-window estimators in time series and we apply the results to Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation. As another illustration, we use the method to derive a central limit theorem for U-statistics with varying kernels.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-08-13T00:35:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J10", "62M10" ], "keywords": [ "quadratic forms", "markov chain monte carlo simulation", "central limit theorem", "martingale approximation approach", "time series" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1108.2743A" } } }
