A LIMIT RESULT FOR SELF-NORMALIZED RANDOM SUMS

Abstract: Suppose {X,Xn;n≥1} is a sequence i.i.d.r.v. with EX=0 and EX2<∞. Shao (1995) proved a conjecture of Révész (1990): if P(X=±1)=1/2, then ... Furthermore he conjectured that ... In this paper we prove that if supb>0P(X=b)≥P(X=0) then this conjecture is true.

Key words: self-normalized,i.i.d.random variables,Chernoff function
