Let {Xn} be a strictly stationary [phi]-mixing process with [Sigma]j=1[infinity] [phi]1/2(j) [infinity]. It is shown in the paper that if X1 is uniformly distributed on the unit interval, then, for any t [set membership, variant] [0, 1], Fn-1(t) - t + Fn(t) - t = O(n-3/4(log log n)3/4) a.s. and...

While local governments are increasingly being vested with control over funds for public goods, concern over the capture of decentralized funds by local elites has led decentralization to be combined with central mandates which require a certain proportion of funds to directly benefit the poor....

Certain results on large deviation probabilities for linear and m-dependent processes are considered here.

It is shown in this note that the one-term Edgeworth expansion for the standardized sample mean of n independent lattice random vectors when perturbed by a random variable (1/[radical sign]n) U is the same as in the strongly non-lattice case, where U is a bounded random variable depending only...
