Abstract

We present a construction showing that a class of sets $\mathcal{C}$ that is Glivenko-Cantelli for an i.i.d. process need not be Glivenko-Cantelli for every stationary ergodic process with the same one dimensional marginal distribution. This result provides a counterpoint to recent work extending uniform strong laws to ergodic processes, and a recent characterization of universal Glivenko Cantelli classes.
