Self-normalized limit theorems: A survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let X1,X2, . . . , be independent random variables with EXi = 0 and write Sn = ∑ n i=1 Xi and V 2 n = ∑ n i=1 X i . This paper provides an overview of current developments on the functional central limit theorems (invariance principles), absolute and relative errors in the central limit theorems, moderate and large deviation theorems and saddle-point approximations for the self-normalized sum Sn/Vn. Other self-normalized limit theorems are also briefly discussed. MSC 2010 subject classifications: Primary 60F05, 60F17; secondary 62E20.

Self-normalized Weak Limit Theorems for a Φ-mixing Sequence
Let {Xj , j ≥ 1} be a strictly stationary φ-mixing sequence of non-degenerate random variables with EX1 = 0. In this paper, we establish a self-normalized weak invariance principle and a central limit theorem for the sequence {Xj} under the condition that L(x) := EX2 1 I{|X1| ≤ x} is a slowly varying function at ∞, without any higher moment conditions.
متن کاملPseudo-Maximization and Self-Normalized Processes*
Abstract: Self-normalized processes are basic to many probabilistic and statistical studies. They arise naturally in the the study of stochastic integrals, martingale inequalities and limit theorems, likelihood-based methods in hypothesis testing and parameter estimation, and Studentized pivots and bootstrap-t methods for confidence intervals. In contrast to standard normalization, large values...
متن کاملFeynman-kac Penalisations of Symmetric Stable Pro- Cesses
In [9], [10], B. Roynette, P. Vallois and M. Yor have studied limit theorems for Wiener processes normalized by some weight processes. In [16], K. Yano, Y. Yano and M. Yor studied the limit theorems for the one-dimensional symmetric stable process normalized by non-negative functions of the local times or by negative (killing) Feynman-Kac functionals. They call the limit theorems for Markov pro...
متن کاملLimit properties for ratios of order statistics from exponentials
In this paper, we study the limit properties of the ratio for order statistics based on samples from an exponential distribution and obtain the expression of the density functions, the existence of the moments, the strong law of large numbers for [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. We also discuss other limit theorems such as the central limit theorem, the law of iterated logarithm, t...
متن کاملSmall Time Central Limit Theorems for Semimartingales with Applications
We give conditions under which the normalized marginal distribution of a semimartingale converges to a Gaussian limit law as time tends to zero. In particular, our result is applicable to solutions of stochastic differential equations with locally bounded and continuous coefficients. The limit theorems are subsequently extended to functional central limit theorems on the process level. We prese...
