We are interested in the rate function of the moderate deviation principle for the two-sample matching problem. This is related to the determination of 1-Lipschitz functions with maximal variance. We give an exact solution for random variables which have normal law, or are uniformly distributed on the Euclidean ball.
We consider a dynamical system in driven by a vector field -U', where U is a multi-well potential satisfying some regularity conditions. We perturb this dynamical system by a Lévy noise of small intensity and such that the heaviest tail of its Lévy measure is regularly varying. We show that the perturbed dynamical system exhibits metastable behaviour i.e. on a proper time scale it reminds of a Markov jump process taking values in the local minima of the potential U. Due to the heavy-tail nature...
We prove a moderate deviation principle for Minkowski sums of i.i.d. random compact sets in a Banach space.
In the present paper we prove moderate deviations for a Curie–Weiss model with external magnetic field generated by a dynamical system, as introduced by Dombry and Guillotin-Plantard in [C. Dombry and N. Guillotin-Plantard, Markov Process. Related Fields 15 (2009) 1–30]. The results extend those already obtained for the Curie–Weiss model without external field by Eichelsbacher and Löwe in [P. Eichelsbacher and M. Löwe, Markov Process. Related Fields 10 (2004) 345–366]. The Curie–Weiss model with...
We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a sum of i.i.d. random variables – where , but – 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.

In this paper we derive the moderate deviation principle for stationary sequences of bounded random variables under martingale-type conditions. Applications to functions of ϕ-mixing sequences, contracting Markov chains, expanding maps of the interval, and symmetric random walks on the circle are given.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate moderate deviations for the Durbin–Watson statistic associated with the stable first-order autoregressive process where the driven noise is also given by a first-order autoregressive process. We first establish a moderate deviation principle for both the least squares estimator of the unknown parameter of the autoregressive process as well as for the serial correlation estimator associated with the driven noise. It enables us to provide a moderate deviation...
