For stochastic processes $\{X_t:t\in E\}$, we establish sufficient conditions for the empirical process based on $\{I_{X_t\le y}-\operatorname{Pr}(X_t\le y):t\in E,y\in\mathbb{R}\}$ to satisfy the CLT uniformly in $t\in E,y\in\mathbb{R}$.…

In a paper of Jason Swanson, a CLT for the sample median of independent Brownian motions with value 0 at 0 was proved. Here we extend this result in two ways. We prove such a result for a collection of self-similar processes which include…

For a uniform process $\{ X_t: t\in E\}$ (by which $X_t $ is uniformly distributed on $(0,1)$ for $t\in E$) and a function $w(x)>0$ on $(0,1)$, we give a sufficient condition for the weak convergence of the empirical process based on $\{…

We show that a modified Empirical process converges to the limiting Gaussian process whenever the limit is continuous. The modification depends on the properties of the limit via Talagrand's characterization of the continuity of Gaussian…

We give a two-dimensional central limit theorem (CLT) for the second-order quadratic variation of the centered Gaussian processes on $[0,T]$. Though the approach we use is well known in the literature, the conditions under which the CLT…

Empirical likelihood approach is one of non-parametric statistical methods, which is applied to the hypothesis testing or construction of confidence regions for pivotal unknown quantities. This method has been applied to the case of…

We define a time dependent empirical process based on $n$ i.i.d.~fractional Brownian motions and establish Gaussian couplings and strong approximations to it by Gaussian processes. They lead to functional laws of the iterated logarithm for…

In this paper, we study fluctuations of conditionally centered statistics of the form $$N^{-1/2}\sum_{i=1}^N c_i(g(\sigma_i)-\mathbb{E}_N[g(\sigma_i)|\sigma_j,j\neq i])$$ where $(\sigma_1,\ldots ,\sigma_N)$ are sampled from a dependent…

We consider sequences of symmetric $U$-statistics, not necessarily Hoeffding-degenerate, both in a one- and multi-dimensional setting, and prove quantitative central limit theorems (CLTs) based on the use of {\it contraction operators}. Our…

Let $(U_n(t))_{t\in\R^d}$ be the empirical process associated to an $\R^d$-valued stationary process $(X_i)_{i\ge 0}$. We give general conditions, which only involve processes $(f(X_i))_{i\ge 0}$ for a restricted class of functions $f$,…

We obtain an almost sure bound for oscillation rates of empirical distribution functions for stationary causal processes. For short-range dependent processes, the oscillation rate is shown to be optimal in the sense that it is as sharp as…
