Exponential inequalities for self-normalized martingales with applications

Statistics Theory 2008-11-14 v2 Probability Statistics Theory

Abstract

We propose several exponential inequalities for self-normalized martingales similar to those established by De la Pe\~{n}a. The keystone is the introduction of a new notion of random variable heavy on left or right. Applications associated with linear regressions, autoregressive and branching processes are also provided.
