Pawel Hitczenko and Stephen Montgomery-Smith, Measuring the magnitude of sums of independent random variables.
Annals of Probability, 29, (2001), 447-466.
This paper considers how to measure the magnitude of the sum of independent random variables in several ways. We give a formula for the tail distribution for sequences that satisfy the so called Lévy property. We then give a connection between the tail distribution and the \(p\)th moment, and between the \(p\)th moment and the rearrangement invariant norms.
