Abstract

For a {0, 1}-pattern of finite length, an empirical process is introduced in order to describe the number of overlapping occurrences of the pattern at each level t[set membership, variant][0,1] in a sequence of the corresponding indicators of i.i.d. [0, 1]-valued observations of length n. A method for obtaining the exact finite-dimensional distributions of the empirical process is given. The weak convergence of the process to a Gaussian process in D[0,1] as n tends to infinity is also established. The limiting process depends on the given pattern. The exact covariance function is compared with the asymptotic covariance function in a numerical example.
