Additional Empirical Process Results

In this chapter, we study several additional empirical process results that are useful but don’t fall neatly into the framework of the other chapters. Because the contents of this chapter are somewhat specialized, some readers may want to skip it the first time they read the book. Although some of the results given herein will be used in later chapters, the results of this chapter are not really necessary for a philosophical understanding of the remainder of the book. On the other hand, this chapter does contain results and references that are useful for readers interested in the deeper potential of empirical process methods in genuinely hard statistical problems.
