Let $$(X,{\mathcal A},P)$$ be a probability space. Let $$P_ n$$ be empirical measures for $$P$$. We ask that $$Z_ n$$ is an empirical process if $$Z_ n=n^{1/2}(P_ n-P)$$. In a number of papers, the Kolmós-Major- Tusnády theorem [J. Kolmós, P. Major and G. Tusnády, Z. Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie Verw. Geb. 32, 111-131 (1975; Zbl 0308.60029)] is generalized to the case of an empirical process on measurable spaces and functions [see for example I. S. Borisov, Probability theory and mathematical statistics, Proc. 4th USSR-Jap. Symp., Tbilisi/USSR 1982, Lect. Notes Math. 1021, 45-58 (1983; Zbl 0527.60031) or P. Massart, Ann. Probab. 17, No. 1, 266-291 (1989; Zbl 0675.60026)]. In this paper, the author proves some results already announced in the paper reviewed above. These results are a continuation of a Borisov-Massart approach.
