Extension of some large deviation results for posterior distributions

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We consider a family of statistical models with positive unknown parameter (which includessome well-known models for censored exponential data) and some statistical modelsfor samples from stationary Gaussian processes. We prove large deviation results forposterior distributions and, in some cases, also for maximum likelihood estimators.
