Abstract

Using the limit theorem for stochastic integral obtained by Jakubowski et al. (Probab. Theory Related Fields 81 (1989) 111-137), we introduce in this paper a new method for proving weak convergence results of empirical processes by a martingale method which allows discontinuities for the underlying distribution. This is applied to Nelson-Aalen and Kaplan-Meier processes. We also prove that the same conclusion can be drawn for Hjort's nonparametric Bayes estimators of the cumulative distribution function and cumulative hazard rate.
