Abstract: Integrals of spectral densities are frequently used to summarize spectral characteristics of linear processes. This work studies self-normalization for estimators of such integrals based on sequential periodograms and establishes weak convergence of the corresponding processes. For linear functionals of the spectral density, self-normalization yields pivotal limiting distributions that are free of unknown spectral quantities. For non-linear functionals, however, additional components with distinct covariance structures may arise in the limiting process. We demonstrate this phenomenon for the integrated squared spectral density.
