Abstract

We prove large (and moderate) deviations for a class of linear combinations of spacings generated by i.i.d. exponentially distributed random variables. We allow a wide class of coefficients which can be expressed in terms of continuous functions defined on [0, 1] which satisfy some suitable conditions. In this way we generalize some recent results by Giuliano et al. (J Statist Plann Inference 157–158:77–89, 2015) which concern the empirical cumulative entropies defined in Di Crescenzo et al. (J Statist Plann Inference 139:4072–4087, 2009a).
