A uniform functional law of the logarithm for the local empirical process. (Q1879830)

The main aim of this paper is to show how one can melt the techniques from classical and abstract empirical process theory, Gaussian distributional approximation and probability on Banach spaces to prove a uniform functional law of the logarithm for the local empirical process formed by a sequence of \(d\)-dimensional i.i.d. random variables with common Lebesgue density function. The methods and results developed in this paper should be of potential application to the investigation of the strong consistency of \(d\)-variate kernel-type nonparametric function estimators.
