Walsh-function analysis of a certain class of time series

This paper is concerned with investigating the use of the orthonormal system of Walsh functions in the analysis of a dyadic-stationary series. The main emphasis is on the finite Walsh transform of a sequence of values coming from such a series. Under a certain mixing condition, given in terms of the dyadic auto-covariance function of the series, we derive a central limit theorem for the finite Walsh transform. This, in turn, allows us to consider estimates of the Walsh spectrum, and we discuss briefly the Walsh periodogram.
