Moderate deviations for estimators under exponentially stochastic differentiability conditions

Abstract

We introduce two exponentially stochastic differentiability conditions to study moderate deviations for M-estimators. Under a generalized exponentially stochastic differentiability condition, a moderate deviation principle is established. Some sufficient conditions of the exponentially stochastic differentiability and examples are also given.

Keywords
