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.
