BY DAVID R. BRILLINGER Communicated by David Blackwell, January 10, 1969 1. Let Xi, • • • , Xn be independent observations from the uniform distribution on [0, l ] . Let Fn(x)~the proportion of the Xj^x. We will prove THEOREM. There is a random function {Gn(x); Orgarrgl}, with the same distribution as {Fn(x) ; 0 ^ x g 1} for each n, and there is a Brownian motion W, such that for the Brownian B(x) =n~W(nx) sup | ni*[Gn(x) x [B(x) xB(l)] (1) ° M l Ofri-^Oog w)flog log n)<*] almost surely as n—*<*>. This theorem is of use in the investigation of the asymptotic behavior of functionals of {Fn(x); 0 ^ # ^ l } , especially functionals dependent on ». 2. We construct Gn(x) as follows; let Yu F2, • • • be independent exponential variables with mean 1. Let S(k) = Fi + • • • +F* t k = 1, 2, • • • and let 5(0) =0. Set Gn(x) « k/n HS(k)/S(n + 1) ^ x < S(k + 1)/S(n + 1). This {Gn(x) ; 0 ̂ x ^ 1} has the same distribution as {Fn(x) ; 0 £x S1} for each n. We now record a series of lemmas. LEMMA 1. There is a Brownian motion W such that
