= Cramér theorem
{c}
{synonym}
For <independent and identically distributed random variables> with a <moment-generating function> finite on an open interval containing zero, the empirical mean satisfies a <large deviation principle> with rate function given by the <Legendre transform of a cumulant-generating function>. The exponential-moment hypothesis is part of this theorem; mere integrability does not guarantee this full large-deviation principle.
