An integral limit theorem for the probability of large deviations of sums of independent random variables. Let 
be a sequence of independent random variables with the same non-degenerate distribution function 
, such that 
and such that the generating function 
of the moments is finite in some interval 
(this last condition is known as the Cramér condition). Let
 |
If 
, 
as 
, then
 |
 |
Here 
is the normal 
distribution function and 
is the so-called Cramér series, the coefficients of which depend only on the moments of the random variable 
; this series is convergent for all sufficiently small 
. Actually, the original result, obtained by H. Cramér in 1938, was somewhat weaker than that just described.
