ASYMPTOTIC PROPERTIES OF PERIODOGRAM FOR ALMOST
PERIODICALLY CORRELATED TIME SERIES
Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to establish the asymptotic properties of the
expectation and variance of periodogram for nonstationary, almost periodically correlated
time series. We expand our consideration to the whole bifrequency square . We show
the exact form of asymptotic covariance between two values of periodogram which are
calculated at different points. This result implies that periodogram is not consistent in mean
square sense for any point from bifrequency square . Finally, under the moment
and -mixing condition, we prove the consistency of smoothed periodogram.
