Abstract:

In this paper we make use of decoupling arguments and martingale inequalities to extend Wald’s equation for sample sums to randomly stopped de-normalized $U$-statistics. We also apply this result in conjunction with nonlinear renewal theory to obtain asymptotic expansions for the means of normalized $U$-statistics from sequential samples.
