Abstract:
In this paper a necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for two double Wiener integrals to be statistically independent, first in the case of symmetric and continuous kernels. It is also shown that, for more than two double Wiener integrals, pairwise independence implies mutual independence. After that, the continuity condition on the kernels is somewhat relaxed, and it is shown that Craig s (1943, Annals of Mathematical Statistics 14, 195 197) theorem on the independence of quadratic forms in normal variables is a special case of the result obtained for the case of discontinuous kernels.
