Abstract:
We consider three independent objects: a two-sided stationary random sequence $\boldsymbol{\xi} := (\ldots, \xi_{-1}, \xi_0, \xi_{1}, \ldots)$ with zero mean and finite variance, a standard Poisson process
$\Pi$ and a subordinator
$S$, that is a non-decreasing Lévy process. By means of reflection about zero we extend
$\Pi$ and
$S$ to the negative semi-axis and define a random time change
$\Pi(S(t))$,
$t\in\mathbb{R}$. Then we define a so-called PSI-process
$\psi(t) := \xi_{\Pi(S(t))}$,
$t\in\mathbb{R}$, which is wide-sense stationary. Notice that PSI-processes generalize pseudo-Poisson processes. The main aim of the paper is to express spectral properties of the process
$\psi$ in terms of spectral characteristics of the sequence
$\xi$ and the Lévy measure of the subordinator
$S$. Using complex analytic techniques we derive a general formula for the spectral measure
$G$ of the process
$\psi$. We also determine exact spectral characteristics of
$\psi$ for the following examples of
$\boldsymbol{\xi}$: almost periodic sequence; finite order moving average; finite order autoregression. These results can find their applications in all areas where
$L^2$-theory of stationary processes is used.
