AN EMPIRICAL FUNCTIONAL CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM FOR
WEAKLY DEPENDENT SEQUENCES
Abstract: In this paper we obtain a Functional Central Limit Theorem for the empirical
process of a stationary sequence under a new weak dependence condition introduced by
Doukhan and Louhichi [5]. This result improves on the Empirical Functional Central Limit
Theorem in Doukhan and Louhichi [5]. Our proof relies on new moment inequalities and on a
Central Limit Theorem. Techniques of proofs come from Louhichi [12] and Rio [16],
respectively. We also deduce a rate of convergence in a Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund Strong
Law.
