On sequential maxima of exponential sample means, with an application to ruin probability

arXiv:1906.09377

Abstract

We obtain the distribution of the maximal average in a sequence of independent identically distributed exponential random variables. Surprisingly enough, it turns out that the inverse distribution admits a simple closed form. An application to ruin probability in a risk-theoretic model is also given.
