Consistency of the Subsample Bootstrap empirical process

In the classical Bootstrap approach the number of distinct observation in the resample is random. To overcome this hitch Rao et al. [Bootstrap by sequential resampling, J. Statist. Plan. Inference 64 (1997), pp. 257-281] have proposed a modified resampling procedure - the so-called Sequential Bootstrap or 0.632-Bootstrap - in which each resample has exactly the same number m similar or equal to left perpendicular0.632nright perpendicular of distinct observations. Motivated by this idea we introduce an akin procedure, the Subsample Bootstrap, where additionally even the size of each resample is equal. It will turn out that the Subsample Bootstrap empirical process is consistent for a wide class of Donsker classes.
