Abstract

A general law of the iterated logarithm for linear combinations of order statistics is proved. The key tools are (1) iterated logarithm convergence of the uniform empirical process $U_n$ in $\rho_q$-metrics due to B. R. James and (2) almost sure "nearly linear" bounds for the empirical distribution function. A law of the iterated logarithm for the quantile process is also established.
