Let $\\{X_n;n\\ge 1\\}$ be a sequence of independent random variables in a sub-linear expectation space $(\\Omega, \\mathscr{H}, \\widehat{\\mathbb E})$. Denote $S_n=\\sum_{k=1}^n X_k$ and $V_n^2=\\sum_{k=1}^n X_k^2$. In this paper, a moderate deviation for self-normalized sums, that is, the asymptotic capacity of the event $\\{S_n/V_n \\ge x_n \\}$ for $x_n=o(\\sqrt{n})$, is found both for identically distributed random variables and independent but not necessarily identically distributed random variables. As an applications, the self-normalized laws of the iterated logarithm are obtained.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-21T08:48:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F15", "60F05", "60H10", "60G48" ], "keywords": [ "self-normalized moderate deviation", "iterated logarithm", "g-expectation", "sub-linear expectation space", "independent random variables" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150906149Z" } } }
