Abstract
We define an index for a sequence of adjusted cumulative sums based on its Doob decomposition. We prove that it characterizes the asymptotical behavior of the sequence and we do not require any distributional assumption. Based on this index, we then obtain estimations for the expected time to fall below (surpass) a level for i.i.d. sequences.
