Abstract

We study the large deviation behaviour of Sn=j=1nWjZjS_n=\sum_{j=1}^n W_jZ_j, where (Wj)jN(W_j)_{j \in \mathbb N} and (Zj)jN(Z_j)_{j \in \mathbb N} are sequences of real-valued, independent and identically distributed random variables satisfying certain moment conditions, independent of each other. More precisely, we prove a conditional strong large deviation result and describe the fluctuations of the random rate function through a functional central limit theorem.
