Abstract
Given series realizations of lengthngenerated by a Gaussian white noise process, we use formulae for the moments about zero of the serial covariances to obtain all the non‐centred and central moments up to order 4 for, first, the serial correlations exactly (all lags) and, then, the low‐lag partial correlations approximately (mainly to O(n‐3)). The results agree with empirical values obtained by simulation forn= 100.
