Assumption 2 (about x1,it):

(i) For some q>1, κx1 supi,t kx1,it - Ex1,itk4q < ∞.

(ii) Let Xh,ι,it be the hth element of xι,it. Then, Exh,ι,it ~ tmh,1 for all i and
h =1, ..., k1 , where mh,1 0.

Assumption 3 (about x2,it): For some q>1,

(i) {x2,it - Ex2,it}t is an α-mixing process for all i, and is independent of
Fzi for all i. Let αi be the mixing coefficient of x2,it. Then, supi αi (d) is
of size

(ii) E(x21,it) = Θ21,it and E(x22,it) = Θ22,t, where supi,t kΘ21,itk, supt kΘ22,tk

(iii) κx2 supi,t kx2,it —Ex2,itk4q < ∞.

Assumption 4 (about x3,it): For some q>1,

(i) x3,it — EFz x3,it t is conditional α-mixing for all i. Let αFz be the con-
ditional
α-mixing coefficient of x3,it on Fzi. Then, supi αzi (d) is of size
3q--i a.s., i.e., supi αzi (d) = O (d-p-3q--τ) a.s., for some p > 0. Also,
(q-    q       q           q-1 2

P=1 d suPi (αFzi (d) q ) ) < ∞.

(iv) Let xh,3k,it be the hth element of x3k,it, where k =1, 2, 3. Then, conditional
on
zi ,

(iv.1) (EFzi xh,31,it Exh,3ι,it) ~ t mh,31 a.s., where 1 < mh,31 ≤ ∞ for
h =1, ..., k31 (here, mh,3i = implies that EFzi xh,3i,it —Exh,3i,it =
0
a.s.);

(iv.2) (EFzixh,32,it Exh,32,it) ~ t-2 a.s. for h =l,...,k32;

(iv.3) (EFzi xh,33,it Exh,33,it) ~ t-mh,33 a.s., where 0 ≤ mh,33 2 for

h=1,...,k33.

Assumption 5 (about zi):

(ii) The support of the density of zi is countable for all i.
