The uniform empirical process under dependence in Holder norm

Dalila Merabet, Djamel Hamadouche

Abstract


Many statistical applications (change point, epidemic tests) in parametric and non parametric statistics are solved using the weak convergence of stochastic processes. The statistical procedures (estimation, testing statistics,...) are based on continuous functionals of paths of processes. Some processes useful in non parametric statistics (empirical process, quantile process,...) are studied in the Holder space which offers more continuous functionals than C[0, 1] for statistical applications. We consider the convolution smoothing of uniform empirical processes for dependent random variables (mixing, association) and we prove the weak Holder convergence to a generalized Brownian bridge.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
