AbstractIn this paper we present functional random-sum central limit theorems with almost sure convergence for independent nonidentically distributed random variables. We consider the case where the summation random indices and partial sums are independent. In the past decade several authors have investigated the almost sure functional central limit theorems and related ‘logarithmic’ limit theorems for partial sums of independent random variables. We extend this theory to almost sure versions of the functional random-sum central limit theorems for subsequences.

We obtain new central limit theorems (CLT's) and functional central limit theorems (FCLT's) for Hilbert-valued arrays near epoch dependent on mixing processes, and also new FCLT's for general Hilbert-valued adapted dependent heterogeneous arrays. These theorems are useful in delivering asymptotic distributions for parametric and nonparametric estimators and their functionals in time series econometrics. We give three significant applications for near epoch dependent observations: (1) A new CLT for any plug-in estimator of a cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) (e.g., an empirical c.d.f., or a c.d.f. estimator based on a kernel density estimator), which can in turn deliver distribution results for many Von Mises functionals; (2) a new limiting distribution result for degenerate U-statistics, which delivers distribution results for Bierens's integrated conditional moment tests; (3) a new functional central limit result for Hilbert-valued stochastic approximation procedures, which delivers distribution results for nonparametric recursive generalized method of moment estimators, including nonparametric adaptive learning models.

The Skorokhod representation for martingales is used to obtain a functional central limit theorem (or invariance principle) for martingales. It is clear from the method of proof that this result may in fact be extended to the case of triangular arrays in which each row is a martingale sequence and the second main result is a functional central limit theorem for such arrays. These results are then used to obtain two functional central limit theorems for processes with stationary ergodic increments following on from the work of Gordin. The first of these theorems extends a result of Billingsley for Φ-mixing sequences.

A central limit theorem for cumulative processes was first derived by Smith (1955). No remainder term was given. We use a different approach to obtain such a term here. The rate of convergence is the same as that in the central limit theorems for sequences of independent random variables.
