116 Chapter 4 Spectral Analysis<br />

Note that since F(π) γ(0) Var(X1), the ACF of {Xt} has spectral representation<br />

<br />

ρ(h) e ihλ dG(λ).<br />

(−π,π]<br />

The function F in (4.1.7) is called the spectral distribution function of γ(·).IfF(λ)<br />

can be expressed as F(λ) λ<br />

f(y)dyfor all λ ∈ [−π, π], then f is the spectral<br />

−π<br />

density function and the time series is said to have a continuous spectrum. IfF is<br />

a discrete distribution (i.e., if G is a discrete probability distribution), then the time<br />

series is said to have a discrete spectrum. The time series (4.1.6) has a discrete<br />

spectrum.<br />

Example 4.1.2 Linear combination of sinusoids<br />

Consider now the process obtained by adding uncorrelated processes of the type<br />

defined in (4.1.6), i.e.,<br />

k<br />

Xt (Aj cos(ωjt) + Bj sin(ωjt)), 0
