Theorem 10

Let

be as in (6) with

as

If F is continuous, then

Proof. We can write

open full size image

and the first term can always be estimated by 1/Nn while the second one converges to 0 almost surely by Glivenko-Cantelli theorem. We can also establish a result of LIL-type. Recall that (Winter, 1979) an estimator Fn of F is said to have the Chung-Smirnov property if

with probability 1.
