Abstract

We consider the process Λ^nΛn\widehat\Lambda_n-\Lambda_n, where Λn\Lambda_n is a cadlag step estimator for the primitive Λ\Lambda of a nonincreasing function λ\lambda on [0,1][0,1], and Λ^n\widehat\Lambda_n is the least concave majorant of Λn\Lambda_n. We extend the results in Kulikov and Lopuha\"a (2006, 2008) to the general setting considered in Durot (2007). Under this setting we prove that a suitably scaled version of Λ^nΛn\widehat\Lambda_n-\Lambda_n converges in distribution to the corresponding process for two-sided Brownian motion with parabolic drift and we establish a central limit theorem for the LpL_p-distance between Λ^n\widehat\Lambda_n and Λn\Lambda_n.
