Abstract

Let {X n ; n ≥ 1} be a sequence of independent and identically distributed U[0,1]-distributed random variables. Define the uniform empirical process \(F_n (t) = n^{ - \tfrac{1} {2}} \sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^n {(I_{\{ X_i \leqslant t\} } - t),0} \leqslant t \leqslant 1,\left\| {F_n } \right\| = \sup _{0 \leqslant t \leqslant 1} \left| {F_n (t)} \right| \). In this paper, the exact convergence rates of a general law of weighted infinite series of E {‖F n ‖ − ɛg s(n)}+ are obtained.
