“…where ν i , i = 1,…, p , is the i ‐th row of the matrix Q defined in and Γ is defined by - A9The limit, , exists.
Remark - Since Q T Q = I r by construction, each element of Q has order of , thus Assumption A8 can be justified under various assumptions on { ϵ i t } such as martingale difference, mixing, associated or other weakly dependent processes. See, for example, Cocke (), McLeish (), Lahiri () and Ko et al ().
- From Proposition , we have Thus is bounded. Assumption A9 imposes an additional regularity on Σ f so that the asymptotic variance of
