More precisely, we deal with random fields of the form $X_k = g(\\varepsilon_{k-s}, s \\in \\Z^d)$, $k\\in\\Z^d$, where $(\\varepsilon_i)_{i\\in\\Z^d}$ are i.i.d random variables and $g$ is a measurable function. Such kind of spatial processes provides a general framework for stationary ergodic random fields. Under a short-range dependence condition, we show that the central limit theorem holds without any assumption on the underlying domain on which the process is observed. A limit theorem for the sample auto-covariance function is also established.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-07-11T06:05:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stationary random fields", "stationary ergodic random fields", "central limit theorem holds", "sample auto-covariance function", "short-range dependence condition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1109.0838E" } } }
