Abstract

We consider a classical model related to an empirical distribution function of (ξ k ) i≥1 – i.i.d. sequence of random variables, supported on the interval [0, 1], with continuous distribution function . 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 for any .
