Inheritance of strong mixing and weak dependence under renewal sampling

Let $X$ be a continuous-time strongly mixing or weakly dependent process and $T$ a renewal process independent of $X$ with inter-arrival times $\{\tau_i\}$. We show general conditions under which the sampled process $(X_{T_i},\tau_i)^{\top}$ is strongly mixing or weakly dependent. Moreover, we explicitly compute the strong mixing or weak dependence coefficients of the renewal sampled process and show that exponential or power decay of the coefficients of $X$ is preserved (at least asymptotically). Our results imply that essentially all central limit theorems available in the literature for strongly mixing or weakly dependent processes can be applied when renewal sampled observations of the process $X$ are at disposal.
