A Cramér type moderate deviation for the maximum of the self-normalized sums max S k /V n is obtained. In particular, for identically distributed X 1,X 2,..., it is proved that max S k xv n/1 Φx 2 uniformly for 0<x on 1/6 under the optimal finite third moment of X 1. Keywords: independent random variables; maximum of self-normalized sums 1. Introduction and main results Let X 1,X 2,... be a sequence of independent non-degenerate random variables with zero means. Set n S n = and Vn 2 = Xj 2. j=1 X j The past decade has brought significant developments in the limit theorems for the socalled self-normalized sum, S n /V n. It is now well understood that the limit theorems for S n /V n usually require fewer moment assumptions than those for their classical standardized counterpart, and thus have much wider applicability. For examples, for identically distributed X 1,X 2,..., a self-normalized large deviation holds without any moment assumption Shao [11], and a Cramér type moderate deviation Shao [12], j=1 S n xv n lim =1, 1.1 n 1 Φx This is an electronic reprint of the original article published by the ISI/BS in Bernoulli, 2013, Vol. 19, No. 3, This reprint differs from the original in pagination and typographic detail c 2013 ISI/BS
2 2 W. Liu, Q.-M. Shao and Q. Wang holds uniformly for x [0,on 1/6 provided that E X 1 3 <, whereas a finite momentgenerating condition of X 1 is necessary for a similar result for the standard sum S n / VarS n see, e.g., Linnik [9]. For more related results, we refer to de la eña, Lai and Shao [5] for a systematic treatment of the theory and applications of selfnormalization and Wang [13] for some refined self-normalized moderate deviations. As for the Cramér type moderate deviations for the maximum of self-normalized sums, namely for max S k /V n, Hu, Shao and Wang [7] were the first to prove that if X 1,X 2,... is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with EX 4 1 <, then max S k xv n lim =2, 1.2 n 1 Φx uniformly for x [0,on 1/6. This contrasts with the moderate deviation result for the maximum of partial sums of Aleshkyavichene [1, 2], where a finite moment-generating condition is required. However, in view of the result given in 1.1, it is natural to ask whether a finite third moment suffices for 1.2. The main purpose of this paper is to provide an affirmative answer to this question. Indeed, we have the following more general result for independent random variables. Theorem 1. Assume that max k 1 E X k 2+r < and min k 1 EXk 2 >0, where 0<r 1. Then 1.2 holds uniformly in 0 x on r/4+2r. As in the moderate deviation result for self-normalized sum S n /V n, Theorem 1 is sharp in both the moment condition and the range in which the result 1.2 holds true. Examples can be constructed similarly as done by Chistyakov and Götze[4] and Shao[12]. Inparticular,forr=1andidenticallydistributed X 1,X 2,...,Theorem1establishes1.2 under the optimal finite third moment of X 1. Theorem 1 can be extended further; in fact, it is a direct consequence of Theorem 2 below. Set Bn 2 = n EX2 i, L n,r = n E X i 2+r and d n,r = B n /Ln,r 1/2+r, where 0 < r 1. Theorem 2. For 0<r 1, suppose that d n,r as n, and that max n j=k E X j 2+r n j=k E X j 2 τlr/2+r n,r d δ n,r for some δ,τ > Then 1.2 holds uniformly in 0 x min{b n,od n,r }. Remark 1. For i.i.d. random variables with EX i =0 and E X i 3 <, Jing, Shao and Wang [8] proved that 1.1 can be refined as S n xv n 1 Φx =1+O11+x 3 E X 1 3 /EX 2 1 3/2
3 Self-normalized moderate deviation for maximum 3 uniformly in x [0,n 1/6 EX 2 1 1/3 /EX 2 1 1/2, where O1 is bounded by an absolute constant. We conjecture that a similar result holds for max S k /V n, that is, max S k xv n 1 Φx uniformly in x [0,n 1/6 EX 2 1 1/2 /E X 1 3 1/3. =2+O11+x 3 E X 1 3 /EX 2 1 3/2 This paper is organized as follows. The proof of the main theorems is given in the next section. The proofs of two technical propositions are deferred to Sections 3 and 4, respectively. Throughout the paper, A,A 1,... denotes absolute constants and C δ,τ denotes a constant depending only on δ and τ, which might be different at each appearance. 2. roofs of theorems roof of Theorem 1. Simple calculations show that if max E X k 2+r < and min k 1 k 1 EX2 k >0, then Bn 2 n, L n,r n, d n,r n r/4+2r and 1.3 holds for δ =1 and some τ >0, where the notation a n b n denotes 0<lim n a n /b n <lim n a n /b n <. Therefore, Theorem 1 follows immediately from Theorem 2. roof of Theorem 2. First note that for ǫ>0, 1 Bn 2 EX 2 k I X k ǫb n ǫ r d 1/2+r n,r whenever d n,r 0. That is, the Lindeberg condition is satisfied for the sequence X 1,X 2,... On the other hand, routine calculations show that, given d n,r 0, Vn/B 2 n 2 1 in probability. Given these facts, the invariance principle see Theorem 2 of Brown [3] and the continuous mapping theorem imply that max S k /V n D N0,1. This yields 1.2 uniformly for 0 x M, where M is an arbitrary constant. Thus, Theorem 2 will follow if we can prove lim lim M n Toward this end, let n,x = x2 B 2 n sup M x min{b n,od n,r} EX 2 i{ X i >B n /x}+ x3 B 3 n 0 max S k xv n 1 Φx 2 = E X i 3 I{ X i B n /x},

Wang and write n 0 n 0 x=max { k: } EXj 2 192Bnlogx e/x 2 2,1 k n. 2.2 j=k It can be readily seen that the condition 1.3, together with 0<x min{b n,od n,r } and d n,r, imply the existence of an absolute constant A such that n,x 0, and 0 x B n, n,x minδ 9/2,1/A, 2.3 n j=n 0+1 E X j 3 I{ X j B n /x} n j=n 0+1 E X j 2 B n x 1+δ 2.4 for all sufficiently large n, where δ is defined as in 1.3. The result 2.1 follows immediately from the following proposition. roposition 1. For all x 2 satisfying 2.3 and 2.4, we have max S k xv n 1 Φx =2+O1x min{1/4,δ/20} + 1/9 n,x, 2.5 where O1 is bounded by a constant C δ that depends only on δ. The main idea of the proof of roposition 1 is to use truncation and the maximum probability inequality and then apply a moderate deviation theorem of Sakhanenko [10] to the truncated variables. A suitable truncation level is ensured by using an inequality from Jing, Shao and Wang [8], page This avoids the conjugate argument of Hu, Shao and Wang [7], and makes it possible to prove the main result under an optimal moment assumption. It remains to prove roposition 1. In addition to the notation in the previous section, let γ =72 1 minδ,1, ε=max2 2/9 n,x,γx 1/2,γx δ/10, m=[x 2 /2], N 0 = and, for 1 l m, N l ={j 1,j 2,...,j l } {1,2,...,n}. Furthermore, write X i = X i I{ X i εb n /x}, and for 0 l m and, S N l k = S N l k = k,i/ N l Xi, k,i/ N l X i, V Nl n 2 = V Nl n 2 =,i/ N l X2 i,,i/ N l X 2 i, B Nl n 2 = BNl n 2 =,i/ N l E X 2 i,,i/ N l EX 2 i.

Similar to the arguments in reported by Jing, Shao and Wang [8], page 2181, we have max S k xv n max S N0 k x V n N0 + + j 1=1 max j 1=1 max S k xv n, X j1 εb n /x S N0 k x V n N0 max SN1 k x 2 1Vn N1 X j1 εb n /x 2.6 and max S k xv n max S N0 k x V n N0 2.7 max S N1 k x 2 1 V n N1 X j1 εb n /x. j 1=1 Repeating 2.6 m-times gives max S k xv n max S N0 k x V n N0 { m n m+1 + Z k x+ X k εb n /x}, where Z k x= j 1=1 [ k ] X ji εb n /x j k =1 max S N k j 1 j n x 2 k V N k n. 2.8 Note that X k εb n /x x2 ε 2 B 2 n x2 ε 2 B 2 n EXkI{ X 2 k εb n /x} EX 2 ki{ X k B n /x}+ x3 ε 3 B 3 n ε 3 n,x ε 3/2 /16 1/16.

6 6 W. Liu, Q.-M. Shao and Q. Wang It follows from m=[x 2 /2] that [ n m+1 X k εb n /x] e x This, together with 2.7 and 2.8, implies that roposition 1 will follow if we prove the following two propositions. roposition 2. For all 0 l m, all x/2 y x, and all x 2 satisfying 2.3 and 2.4, we have max SN l k y V N l n 2+C δ,τ ε 2 n,x +ε Φy roposition 3. For all x 2 satisfying 2.3 and 2.4, we have Indeed, noting that max SN 0 k x V n N0 =2+C δ,τ ε 2 n,x +ε Φx x /2 1 Φx 1 e 2π1+x2 e x2 x2 /2 2πx for x 1, we have that for 1 k m=[x 2 /2] and x 1, 1 Φ x 2 k 1 Φx 2e k/2. This, together with , implies that for all x 2 satisfying 2.3 and 2.4, max S k xv n { m e x Φx+ {1 Φ { n } k } x 2 k} X j ǫb n /x {1+C δ,τ ǫ 2 n,x +ǫ} Φx{1+C δ,τ ǫ 3 n,x +ǫ+x 1 } 21 Φx{1+C δ,τ x min{1/4,δ/20} + 1/9 n,x }. Similarly,by2.7,2.11and2.12,weobtainthatforallx 2satisfying2.3and2.4, max S k xv n 21 Φx{1 C δ,τ x min{1/4,δ/20} + 1/9 n,x} Combining 2.13 and 2.14, we obtain 2.5, and thus roposition 1. j=1

Lemma 1. Under the conditions of roposition 2, we have I 1 C δ,τ y 2 exp y 2 /2, 3.4 I 2 C δ,τ y 2 exp y 2 /2, 3.5 I 3 C δ,τ y 2 exp y 2 /2, 3.6 I 4 2[1 Φy][1+C δ,τ ε 2 n,x +ε]. 3.7

Note that γmax{x 1/2,x δ/10 } ε min{1/24,δ/72}, n,x ε/2 9/ This fact 3.8 is repeatedly used in the proof without further explanation.

Nl /y k=j+1,k/ N l Note that k N l EX 2 k ε3 B 2 n /8 for all 0 l m=[x2 /2] by 3.10, and thus B 2 n B N l n 2 = EXk 2 k N l EX 2 k 1 ε 3 /8B 2 n 7 8 B2 n Applying the Chebyshev inequality, we have, for any 1 j and x/2 y x, C j 1 y2 k=j+1 EX2 k ε 2 B N l n 2 1 4ε/7 1/
