Abstract. We show that the entries of the asymptotic covariance matrix of the sample autocovariances and autocorrelations of a stationary process can be expressed in terms of the square of its spectral density. This leads to closed form expressions and fast computational algorithms.
Key words and phrases: Bartlett's formula, ARMA, sample autocovariances, sample autocorrelations.
