Here we discuss the Gaussian approximation for the empirical process under different kinds of dependence assumptions for the underlying stationary sequence. First, we state a general criterion to prove tightness of the empirical process associated with a stationary sequence of uniformly distributed random variables. This tightness criterion can be verified for many different dependence structures. For ρ‎-mixing sequences, by an application of a Rosenthal-type inequality, tightness is verified under the same condition leading to the usual CLT. For α‎-dependent sequences whose α‎-dependent coefficients decay polynomially to zero, it is shown to hold with the help of the Rosenthal inequality stated in Section 3.3. Since the asymptotic behavior of the finite-dimensional distributions of the empirical process is handled via the CLT developed in previous chapters, we then derive the functional CLT for the empirical process associated with the above-mentioned classes of stationary sequences. β‎-dependent sequences are also investigated by directly proving tightness of the empirical process.

Abstract In this paper we investigate the functional central limit theorem (CLT) for stochastic processes associated to partial sums of additive functionals of reversible Markov chains with general spate space, under the normalization standard deviation of partial sums. For this case, we show that the functional CLT is equivalent to the fact that the variance of partial sums is regularly varying with exponent 1 and the partial sums satisfy the CLT. It is also equivalent to the conditional CLT.

In this paper we study the functional central limit theorem (CLT) for stationary Markov chains with a self-adjoint operator and general state space. We investigate the case when the variance of the partial sum is not asymptotically linear in n, and establish that conditional convergence in distribution of partial sums implies the functional CLT. The main tools are maximal inequalities that are further exploited to derive conditions for tightness and convergence to the Brownian motion.
