Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the stochastic process \begin{equation} \beta_{n}(q_{t},t)=\beta_{n}(t)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\sum_{j=1}^{n}\left\{G_{t,n}(Y(t))-G_{t}(Y_{j}(t))\right\} q_{t}(Y_{j}(t)), \tag{A} \end{equation} where for n1n\geq1 and T>0T>0, the sequences {Y1(t),Y2(t),...,Yn(t),t[0,T]}\{Y_{1}(t),Y_{2}(t),...,Y_{n}(t),t\in [0,T]\} are independant observations of some real stochastic process Y(t),t[0,T]{Y(t),t\in [0,T]}, for each t[0,T]t \in [0,T], GtG_{t} is the distribution function of % Y(t) and Gt,nG_{t,n} is the empirical distribution function based on % Y_{1}(t),Y_{2}(t),...,Y_{n}(t), and finally qtq_{t} is a bounded real fonction defined on R\mathbb{R}. This process appears when investigating some time-dependent L-Statistics which are expressed as a function of some functional empirical process and the process (A). Since the functional empirical process is widely investigated in the literature, the process reveals itself as an important key for L-Statistics laws. In this paper, we state an extended study of this process, give complete calculations of the first moments, the covariance function and find conditions for asymptotic tightness.
