Let $X, X_1, X_2,...$ be a sequence of non-degenerate i.i.d. random variables with 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 of attraction of the normal law. The conclusions then are used to establish similar 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.
This paper investigates weighted approximations for studentized $U$-statistics type processes, both with symmetric and antisymmetric kernels, only under the assumption that the distribution of the projection variate is in the domain of attraction of the normal law. The classical second moment condition $E|h(X_1,X_2)|^2 < \infty$ is also relaxed in both cases. The results can be used for testing the null assumption of having a random sample versus the alternative that there is a change in distribution in the sequence.
In this paper we study strong approximations (invariance principles) of the sequential uniform and general Bahadur--Kiefer processes of long-range dependent sequences. We also investigate the strong and weak asymptotic behavior of the sequential Vervaat process, that is, the integrated sequential Bahadur--Kiefer process, properly normalized, as well as that of its deviation from its limiting process, the so-called Vervaat error process. It is well known that the Bahadur--Kiefer and the Vervaat error processes cannot converge weakly in the i.i.d. case. In contrast to this, we conclude that the Bahadur--Kiefer and Vervaat error processes, as well as their sequential versions, do converge weakly to a Dehling--Taqqu type limit process for certain long-range dependent sequences.
