Let $(\xi_i)_{i=1,...,n}$ be a sequence of independent and symmetric random variables. We consider the upper bounds on tail probabilities of self-normalized deviations $$ \mathbf{P} \Big( \max_{1\leq k \leq n} \sum_{i=1}^{k} |\xi_i|\big/…

We compute a variance lower bound for unbiased estimators in specified statistical models. The construction of the bound is related to the original Cram\'er-Rao bound, although it does not require the differentiability of the model.…

Exact lower bounds on the exponential moments of min(y,X) and XI{X<y} are provided given the first two moments of a random variable X. These bounds are useful in work on large deviations probabilities and nonuniform Berry-Esseen bounds,…
