Abstract

We derive an Lq\mathcal{L}_{q}-maximal inequality for zero mean dependent random variables {xt}t=1n\{x_{t}\}_{t=1}^{n} on Rp\mathbb{R}^{p}, where pp >>>> % n is allowed. The upper bound is a familiar multiple of ln(p)\ln (p) and an % l_{\infty } moment, as well as Kolmogorov distances based on Gaussian approximations (ρn,ρ~n)(\rho _{n},\tilde{\rho}_{n}), derived with and without negligible truncation and sub-sample blocking. The latter arise due to a departure from independence and therefore a departure from standard symmetrization arguments. Examples are provided demonstrating (ρn,(\rho _{n},% \tilde{\rho}_{n}) \rightarrow 00 under heterogeneous mixing and physical dependence conditions, where (ρn,ρ~n)(\rho _{n},\tilde{\rho}_{n}) are multiples of ln(p)/nb\ln (p)/n^{b} for some bb >> 00 that depends on memory, tail decay, the truncation level and block size.
