Abstract

We prove a central limit theorem for linear triangulararrays under weak dependence conditions. Our result is then appliedto dependent random variables sampled by a ${\mathbb Z}$ -valued transient random walk. This extends the resultsobtained by [N. Guillotin-Plantard and D. Schneider, Stoch. Dynamics3 (2003) 477–497]. An applicationto parametric estimation by random sampling is also provided.
