Abstract. An asymptotic expansion of the logarithm of the likelihood ratio for Markov dependent observation is obtained. A functional limit theorem for the likelihood ratio is proved, which gives a way to study limiting distributions of the likelihood ratio based on stopping times, in particular, that of sequential probability ratio test.
Key words and phrases: Likelihood ratio, Markov process, asymptotic expansion, functional limit theorem, sequential probability ratio test.
