Abstract

We consider a classical model related to an empirical distribution function sequence of random variables, supported on the interval [0,1], with continuous distribution function F(t) = P(ξ1 ≤ t). Applying "Stopping Time Techniques", we give a proof of Kolmogorov's exponential bound conjectured by Kolmogorov in 1943. Using this bound we establish a best possible logarithmic asymptotic of with rate slower than 1/n for any α ε (0,1/2).
