Stochastic Processes and their Applications, Volume 129, Issue 3, pp. 822 - 840. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spa.2018.03.0200304-4149https://hdl.handle.net/2144/39130The Hermite rank appears in limit theorems involving long memory. We show that a Hermite rank higher than one is unstable when the data is slightly perturbed by transformations such as shift and scaling. We carry out a “near higher order rank analysis” to illustrate how the limit theorems are affected by a shift perturbation that is decreasing in size. We also consider the case where the deterministic shift is replaced by centering with respect to the sample mean. The paper is a companion of Bai and Taqqu (2017) which discusses the instability of the Hermite rank in the statistical context.p. 822 - 840en-USLong-range dependenceLong memoryHermatite rankPower rankLimit theoremInstabilityScience & technologyPhysical sciencesStatistics & probabilityMathematicsCentral limit-theoremsFunctionalsStatisticsBanking, finance and investmentArticle10.1016/j.spa.2018.03.0200000-0002-1145-9082 (Taqqu, Murad S)286233
