A large noise limit

Let $\varphi$ be the standard normal density. Since $P[W_1 \ge x] =(1+o(1))\varphi(x)/x$ as $ x \to \infty$ by [1], we obtain for fixed $\delta>0$ that as $\epsilon \to 0$, $$P[W_1 \ge \epsilon^{-1}+ …

Large deviation of random walk

Let's assume that $p<1/2$, Otherwise the probability in question does not decay exponentially. Then $$ \max_{{1\leq i\leq n}}\Pr\left(S_i>\max_{1\leq i'\leq n}-S_{i'}\right)= \Pr\left(S_1>\max_{1\le …

Sample average L1 convergence speed

Theorem 1 (Hsu and Robbins [HR]) Let $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ be i.i.d. random variables with finite mean $\mu$ and finite variance. Then for all $\epsilon>0$, $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty P\bigl(|S_n-n\mu|\ge n \ep …
