Cramér large deviation expansions for martingales under Bernstein's condition

Abstract

By using the conjugate distribution technique of Cramér, we obtain some expansions of large deviation probabilities for martingales with differences satisfying the conditional Bernstein's condition. The expansions are of the same order as in the classical Cramér's large deviation result and are therefore optimal.
