On limit theorems of Fortet–Kac type
Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2008 We get the theorem of large deviations for sums of type \sum f(T jt) satisfying the conditions weaker than in [5] (see [5, pp. 221–227]).

Large Deviations for Quicksort [PDF]
Journal of Algorithms, 1996 Summary: Let \(Q_n\) be the random number of comparisons made by quicksort in sorting \(n\) distinct keys when we assume that all \(n!\) possible orderings are equally likely. Known results concerning moments for \(Q_n\) do not show how rare it is for \(Q_n\) to make large deviations from its mean.

Sharp Probability Tail Estimates for Portfolio Credit Risk
Risks, 2022 Portfolio credit risk is often concerned with the tail distribution of the total loss, defined to be the sum of default losses incurred from a collection of individual loans made out to the obligors.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction We developed MedSupport, a multilevel medication adherence intervention designed to address root barriers to medication adherence. This study sought to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MedSupport intervention strategies to support a future full‐scale randomized controlled trial.

Large deviations for exchangeable observations with applications
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2004 We first prove some large deviation results for a mixture of i.i.d. random variables. Compared with most of the known results in the literature, our results are built on relaxing some restrictive conditions that may not be easy to be checked in certain ...

Convergence of large-deviation estimators [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2015 We study the convergence of statistical estimators used in the estimation of large deviation functions describing the fluctuations of equilibrium, nonequilibrium, and manmade stochastic systems. We give conditions for the convergence of these estimators with sample size, based on the boundedness or unboundedness of the quantity sampled, and discuss how

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

Parent‐to‐Child Information Disclosure in Pediatric Oncology
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Despite professional consensus regarding the importance of open communication with pediatric cancer patients about their disease, actual practice patterns of disclosure are understudied. Extant literature suggests a significant proportion of children are not told about their diagnosis/prognosis, which is purported to negatively ...

The discounted local limit theorems for large deviations
Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2008 Theorems of large deviations, both in the Cramer zone and the Linnik power zones, for the normal approximation of the distribution density function of normalized sum Sv = \sum∞ k=0 vkXk, 0 < v < 1, of i.i.d.
