Abstract

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a sum of i.i.d. random variables i = 1 n X i / b n – where b n n 0 , but b n n – to satisfy a moderate deviations principle. Moreover we show that this equivalence is a typical moderate deviations phenomenon. It is not true in a large deviations regime.
