Abstract

A nonparametric sequential test with power one for the mean of Levy-stable laws with infinite variance is given. Our considerations are based on a law of the iterated logarithm for Peng’s estimator [Peng, Stat. Probab. Lett., 52:255–264, 2001] of the mean of heavy-tailed distributions. Our main motivation comes from applications to financial data, and in particular to sequential control of daily asset returns.
