Abstract

The purpose of this note is to establish results of a technical nature concerning a stochastic process that appears to be useful in the study of certain problems in statistical inference. These problems concern a test for symmetry, a method for obtaining an adaptive estimator of the centre of symmetry, and the detection of outliers with respect to the normal distribution. Details of the applications will be presented elsewhere.
