Abstract

Kaufmann's exact characterization of the partition function for the classical Ising model is used to obtain limit theorems for the sample correlation between nearest neighbours in the non-critical case. This provides a basis for the asymptotic testing and estimation (by confidence intervals) of the correlation between nearest neighbours.
