This paper develops a large deviation theorem for families of sample means of U -statistic structure (i.e., U -processes). These results extend the work of Sethuraman (1964) and Wu (1994) on large deviation theory for families of ordinary sample means and the classical empirical process. Along the w
The aim of the paper is to show that for data-driven Neyman's statistic large deviation theorem does not hold. We derive an explicit estimate from below for probabilities of large and moderate deviations. The main tool is a version of a lower exponential inequality recently obtained by Mogulskii.
Let Q be the random number of comparisons made by quicksort in sorting n n distinct keys when we assume that all n! possible orderings are equally likely. Known results concerning moments for Q do not show how rare it is for Q to n n make large deviations from its mean. Here we give a good approxima
