Abstract:

Let be a stationary moving average with long-range dependence. Suppose and for some . When the are Gaussian, then the Hermite polynomials play a fundamental role in the study of non-central limit theorems for functions of . When the are not Gaussian, the relevant polynomials are Appell polynomials. They satisfy a multinomial type expansion that can be used to establish non-central limit theorems.
