Abstract

The condition of strong mixing for triangular arrays of random variables is a common condition of weak dependence. In this note, it is shown that this condition is not as general as one might believe. In particular, it is shown that there exist triangular arrays of first-order autoregressive random variables which converge almost surely to an independent identically distributed sequence of random variables and for which the central limit theorem holds, but which are not strong mixing triangular arrays. Hence, the strong mixing condition is more restrictive than desired.
