This book develops Doukhan/Louhichi's 1999 idea to measure asymptotic
independence of a random process. The authors, who helped develop this
theory, propose examples of models fitting such conditions: stable
Markov chains, dynamical systems or more complicated models, nonlinear,
non-Markovian, and heteroskedastic models with infinite memory.
Applications are still needed to develop a method of analysis for
nonlinear times series, and this book provides a strong basis for
additional studies.
