Extract

In Eagleson and Weber [2] a central limit theorem for weakly exchangeable arrays is given as a consequence of a reverse martingale central limit theorem. As noted in their remarks, a direct application of this is a central limit theorem for the classical U-statistics. Here we give a corollary to the functional law of the iterated logarithm of Scott and Huggins [4] and use this to obtain laws of the iterated logarithm for weakly exchangeable arrays and hence for U-statistics under a finite (2 + δ)th moment condition.
