Weak Convergence of Multidimensional Empirical Processes for Stationary $\phi$-Mixing Processes

Abstract

For a stationary $\phi$-mixing sequence of stochastic $p(\geqq 1)$-vectors, weak convergence of the empirical process (in the $J_1$-topology on $D^p\lbrack 0, 1 \rbrack)$ to an appropriate Gaussian process is established under a simple condition on the mixing constants $\{\phi_n\}$. Weak convergence for random number of stochastic vectors is also studied. Tail probability inequalities for Kolmogorov Smirnov statistics are provided.
