Abstract

Let (ηi)i1(\eta_i)_{i\geq1} be a sequence of ψ\psi-mixing random variables. Let m=nα,0<α<1,k=n/(2m),m=\lfloor n^\alpha \rfloor, 0< \alpha < 1, k=\lfloor n/(2m) \rfloor, and Yj=i=1mηm(j1)+i,1jk.Y_j = \sum_{i=1}^m \eta_{m(j-1)+i}, 1\leq j \leq k. Set Sko=j=1kYj S_k^o=\sum_{j=1}^{k } Y_j and [So]k=i=1k(Yj)2.[S^o]_k=\sum_{i=1}^{k } (Y_j )^2. We prove a Cram\'er type moderate deviation expansion for P(Sko/[So]kx)\mathbb{P}(S_k^o/\sqrt{[ S^o]_k} \geq x) as n.n\to \infty. Our result is similar to the recent work of Chen\textit{ et al.}\ [Self-normalized Cram\'{e}r-type moderate deviations under dependence. Ann.\ Statist.\ 2016; \textbf{44}(4): 1593--1617] where the authors established Cram\'er type moderate deviation expansions for β\beta-mixing sequences. Comparing to the result of Chen \textit{et al.}, our results hold for mixing coefficients with polynomial decaying rate and wider ranges of validity.
