Summary
A central limit theorem for Toeplitz type quadratic functionals of a stationary Gaussian processX(t),t∈ℝ, is proved, generalizing the result of Avram [1] for discrete time processes. The result is applied to the problem of nonparametric estimation of linear functionals of an unknown spectral density function. We give some upper bounds for the minimax mean square risk of the nonparametric estimators, similar to those by Ibragimov and Has'minskii [12] for a probability density function.
