On the asymptotic joint distribution of the sum and maximum of stationary normal random variables

Abstract

Let X1, X2, ·· ·be stationary normal random variables with ρn = cov(X0, Xn). The asymptotic joint distribution of and is derived under the condition ρn log n → γ [0,∞). It is seen that the two statistics are asymptotically independent only if γ = 0.
