Abstract

top
Considering the centered empirical distribution function Fn-F as a variable in 𝕃 p ( μ ) , we derive non asymptotic upper bounds for the deviation of the 𝕃 p ( μ ) -norms of Fn-F as well as central limit theorems for the empirical process indexed by the elements of generalized Sobolev balls. These results are valid for a large class of dependent sequences, including non-mixing processes and some dynamical systems.
