RT Journal Article T1 On the second order properties of the multidimensional periodogram for regularly spaced data A1 Porcu, Emilio A1 Crujeiras Casais, Rosa María A1 Mateu, Jorge A1 González Manteiga, Wenceslao K1 Periodogram K1 Regular lattice data K1 Spatial and spatio-temporal data K1 Spectral density K1 Tapering AB Recently there is growing interest in improving the level of knowledge of spatial and spatio-temporal processes using spectral techniques. The properties of the estimator of the spectral density, the periodogram, have been broadly studied under different asymptotic assumptions that imply a valuable loss of information about the behavior of the underlying process that is often observed on a grid of small size and with sparse data. In this scheme, neither increasing domain nor shrinking asymptotics applies. The goal of this paper is to study the properties of the multidimensional periodogram, under both cases of tapering and no tapering, and the assumption of finite dimensionality of the regular lattice where the process is observed. We present some theoretical results regarding the second order properties of the multidimensional periodogram. Furthermore, we show that, independent of the tapering procedure, periodogram values present a dependence structure which is not stationary and which particularly depends on weights which are proportional to the Bartlett kernel or the chosen taper PB Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) SN 0040-585X YR 2009 FD 2009 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18564 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18564 LA eng NO Porcu, E., Crujeiras, R., Mateu, J., & Gonzalez-Manteiga, W.
