In particular the uniformly boundedness assumption on the function class, which is required in most of the existing literature, is spared. Furthermore under strict stationarity a weak convergence result for the sequential empirical process indexed in function classes is obtained, as a direct consequence. Two examples in mathematical statistics, that cannot be treated with existing results, are given as possible applications.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2018-10-30T13:22:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F05", "60F17" ], "keywords": [ "sequential empirical process", "weak dependence", "weak convergence result", "function class", "general classes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
