Asymptotics for Spherical Functional Autoregressions

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a class of spherical functional autoregressive processes, and we discuss the estimation of the corresponding autoregressive kernels. In particular, we first establish a consistency result (in sup and mean-square norm), then a quantitative central limit theorem (in Wasserstein distance), and finally a weak convergence result, under more restrictive regularity conditions. Our results are validated by a small numerical investigation.
