Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications

The term moderate deviations is often used in the literature to mean a class of large deviation principles that, in some sense, fills the gap between a convergence in probability to zero (governed by a large deviation principle) and a weak convergence to a centered Normal distribution. The notion of noncentral moderate deviations is used when the weak convergence is towards a non-Gaussian distribution. In this paper, noncentral moderate deviation results are presented for two fractional Skellam processes known in the literature (see [20]). It is established that, for the fractional Skellam process of type 2 (for which one can refer to the recent results for compound fractional Poisson processes in [3]), the convergences to zero are usually faster because one can prove suitable inequalities between rate functions.

This paper presents some extensions of recent noncentral moderate deviation results. In the first part, the results in [Statist. Probab. Lett. 185, Paper No. 109424, 8 pp. (2022)] are generalized by considering a general Lévy process $\{S(t):t\ge 0\}$ instead of a compound Poisson process. In the second part, it is assumed that $\{S(t):t\ge 0\}$ has bounded variation and is not a subordinator; thus $\{S(t):t\ge 0\}$ can be seen as the difference of two independent nonnull subordinators. In this way, the results in [Mod. Stoch. Theory Appl. 11, 43–61] for Skellam processes are generalized.
