Abstract

Let be the adjusted range of the cumulative sums of a sequence , where . Weak convergence results for random functions constructed from cumulative sums of {Xs } are used to obtain the asymptotic distribution and moments of when {Xs } are exchangeable, or symmetrically dependent, random variables.
