On weighted approximations in $D[0, 1]$ with applications to self-normalized partial sum processes

摘要

Let $X, X_1, X_2,...$ be a sequence of non-degenerate i.i.d. random variableswith mean zero. The best possible weighted approximations are investigated in$D[0, 1]$ for the partial sum processes $\{S_{[nt]}, 0\le t\le 1\}$, where$S_n=\sum_{j=1}^nX_j$, under the assumption that $X$ belongs to the domain ofattraction of the normal law. The conclusions then are used to establishsimilar results for the sequence of self-normalized partial sum processes$\{S_{[nt]}/V_n, 0\le t\le 1\}$, where $V_n^2=\sum_{j=1}^nX_j^2$. $L_p$approximations of self-normalized partial sum processes are also discussed.
