Abstract

We consider the asymptotic properties of the sample mean and the sample covariance sequence of a field composed of the sum of a purely indeterministic and evanescent components. The asymptotic normality of the sample mean and sample covariances is established. A Bartlett-type formula for the asymptotic covariance matrix of the sample covariances of this field, is derived.
