Abstract

Let an integer n>=2 and a vector of independent, identically distributed random variables X1,...,Xn be given with and define the self-normalized sum . With a formula for we prove that and that if and only if the summands are symmetrically distributed. We also construct examples where Zn converges to the standard normal distribution as n tends to infinity while tends to infinity (the distribution of the summands varies with n).
