A fourth moment inequality for functionals of stationary processes
Abstract
In this paper, a fourth moment bound for partial sums of functional of strongly ergodic Markov chain is established. This type of inequality plays an important role in the study of empirical process invariance principle. This one is specially adapted to the technique of Dehling, Durieu and Volný (2008). The same moment bound can be proved for dynamical system whose transfer operator has some spectral properties. Examples of applications are given.
