Abstract

It is shown that the limiting distribution of any regular estimator of a continuous cdf on [0, 1] can be represented as a convolution of the Brownian bridge process with another distribution on $C\lbrack 0, 1\rbrack$. The result is related to Hajek's representation for limiting distributions of regular parametric estimators.
