Laws of the Iterated Logarithm for the Local U-Statistic Process

Laws of the iterated logarithm are established for the local U-statistic process. This entails the development of probability inequalities and moment bounds for U-processes that should be of separate interest. The local U-statistic process is based upon an estimator of the density of a function of several i.i.d. variables proposed by Frees (J. Am. Stat. Assoc. 89, 517–525, 1994). As a consequence, our results are directly applicable to the derivation of exact rates of uniform in bandwidth consistency in the sup and in the L _p norms for these estimators. Research of E.

关于学生氏U－统计量的渐近性质

设Ｘ１，Ｘ２，…，Ｘｎ（ｎ≥２）为ｉ．ｉ．ｄ随机变量，Ｕｎ为以ｈ（ｘ１，ｘ２）为对称核的Ｕ－统计量，Ｅｈ（Ｘ１，Ｘ２）＝θ，且．设是的ＢｏｏｔｓｔｒａＰ量，施锡铨［１］在关于核ｈ的二阶矩的条件下，证明了：当ｎ→∞时，因此依分布收敛于标准正态变量．本文在关于核ｈ的４阶矩的条件下，讨论了Ｗｎ的分布渐近正态的一致性界限．
