摘要:
Let X, X-1, X-2,... be a sequence of nondegenerate i.i.d. random variables with zero means. In this paper we show that a self-normalized version of Donsker's theorem holds only under the assumption that X belongs to the domain of attraction of the normal law. A thus resulting extension of the arc sine law is also discussed. We also establish that a weak invariance principle holds true for self-normalized, self-randomized partial sums processes of independent random variables that are assumed to be symmetric around mean zero, if and only if max(1less than or equal tojless than or equal ton) \X-j\/V-n --> (P) 0, as n --> infinity, where V-n(2) = Sigma(j=1)(n) X-j(2).
