Normalizing constants for a statistic based on logarithms of disjoint m-spacings
The paper is concerned with the asymptotic normality of a certain statistic based on the logarithms of disjoint m-spacings. The exact and asymptotic mean and variance are computed in the case of uniform distribution on the interval [0,1]. This result is generalized to the case when the sample is drawn from a distribution with positive step density on [0,1].
