Abstract

The likelihood ratio method for dealing with change-point problems of Yakir and Pollak (1998), which has subsequently been extended to deal with a wide variety of problems involving maxima of random fields, has as a key ingredient a conditional local limit theorem for a log-likelihood ratio, given an almost independent "local" sigma-algebra. This article contains a general version of that theorem, illustrated by several examples.
