A functional Hungarian construction for sums of independent random variables

Probability 2024-12-20 v1

Abstract

We develop a Hungarian construction for the partial sum process of independent non-identically distributed random variables. The process is indexed by functions ff from a class H\mathcal{H}, but the supremum over ff\in H\mathcal{H} is taken outside the probability. This form is a prerequisite for the Koml\'{o}s-Major-Tusn\'{a}dy inequality in the space of bounded functionals l(H)l^{\infty }(\mathcal{H}), but contrary to the latter it essentially preserves the classical n1/2lognn^{-1/2}\log n approximation rate over large functional classes H\mathcal{H} such as the H\"{o}lder ball of smoothness 1/21/2. This specific form of a strong approximation is useful for proving asymptotic equivalence of statistical experiments.
