Description

---

The purpose of this book is to present results on the subject of weak convergence in function spaces to study invariance principles in statistical applications to dependent random variables, U-statistics, censor data analysis. Different techniques, formerly available only in a broad range of literature, are for the first time presented here in a self-contained fashion.

Contents:
Weak convergence of stochastic processes
Weak convergence in metric spaces
Weak convergence on C 0, 1] and D 0,∞)
Central limit theorem for semi-martingales and applications
Central limit theorems for dependent random variables
Empirical process
