A note on concentration functions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2011
Synopsis
We give an inequality for the concentration function of a sum X1 + … + Xn of independent random variables when Xv has a finite absolute moment of order kv (2 < kv ≦ 3). It is an extension of somewhat similar inequalities found earlier by Offord and by the author in the case of finite third-order absolute moments.
