The asymptotic distributions of statistics based on logarithms of spacings
Considering the centered empirical distribution function Fn-F as a variable in , we derive non asymptotic upper bounds for the deviation of the -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.
In this paper, we consider the ratios of order statistics in samples from uniform distribution and establish strong and weak laws for these ratios.
We consider stochastic processes as random elements in some spaces of Hölder functions vanishing at infinity. The corresponding scale of spaces is shown to be isomorphic to some scale of Banach sequence spaces. This enables us to obtain some tightness criterion in these spaces. As an application, we prove the weak Hölder convergence of the convolution-smoothed empirical process of an i.i.d. sample under a natural assumption about the regularity of the marginal distribution function F of the...
