Abstract:
Let $\{X_n\}$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random vectors with values in a separable Banach space. Moderate deviation principles for trajectories of sums of $\{X_n\}$ are proved, which generalize related results of Borovkov and Mogulskii (1980) and Deshayes and Picard (1979). As an application, functional laws of the iterated logarithm are given. The paper also contains concluding remarks, with examples, on extending results for partial sums to corresponding ones for trajectory setting.References
