This paper presents a necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic efficiency of a nonparametric estimator for the generalised autocovariance function of a stationary random process. The estimator is based on the inverse discrete Fourier transform of the power transformation of the pooled periodogram. The study considers fixed bandwidth design and adaptive bandwidth design, and applies the general result to stationary ARMA processes.
This paper provides a necessary and sufficient condition for asymptotic efficiency of a nonparametric estimator of the generalised autocovariance function of a stationary random process. The generalised autocovariance function is the inverse Fourier transform of a power transformation of the spectral density and encompasses the traditional and inverse autocovariance functions as particular cases. A nonparametric estimator is based on the inverse discrete Fourier transform of the power transformation of the pooled periodogram. We consider two cases: the fixed bandwidth design and the adaptive bandwidth design. The general result on the asymptotic efficiency, established for linear processes, is then applied to the class of stationary ARMA processes and its implications are discussed. Finally, we illustrate that for a class of contrast functionals and spectral densities, the minimum contrast estimator of the spectral density satisfies a Yule-Walker system of equations in the generalised autocovariance estimator.
