摘要:In this article, we employ the jackknife method of estimation and the concept of Studentized $U$-statistics to derive a new weak convergence result for nondegenerate $U$-statistics on the space $D[0,1]$. We drop the classical condition that the second moment of the kernel of the underlying $U$-statistic exists and derive a weighted weak convergence result for these Studentized statistics. This weak convergence is concluded from a weighted approximation in sup-norm $\|/q\|$, in probability, of Studentized $U$-statistics by partial sums of i.i.d. projections, where $q$ is in an appropriate class of positive weight functions.
