摘要
Let X1,...,Xn be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with common distribution P on the real line. Assuming that P has a smooth density, we construct a histogram based estimator P,,H and establish weak convergence of the empirical process rootn-(P-n,P-H -P)(f)(f is an element of f) under sharp conditions. If F is a class of indicators of sets, then the conditions imposed are necessary and sufficient. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
