Assuming the finiteness of only the second moment, we prove that LIL for Lorenz curves holds true provided that the underlying distribution function and its inverse are continuous. The proof is crucially based on a limit theorem for the general Vervaat process.

Based on an R2-valued random sample {(yi,xi),1≤i≤n} on the simple linear regression model yi=xiβ+α+εi with unknown error variables εi, least squares processes (LSPs) are introduced in D[0,1] for the unknown slope β and intercept α, as well as for the unknown β when α=0. These LSPs...

For a suitable definition of the local time of a random walk strong invariance principles are proved, saying that this local time is like that of a Wiener process. Consequences of these results are LIL statements for the local time of a general enough class of random walks. One of the tools for...
