We give a nonuniform Berry-Esseen bound for self-normalized martingales, which bridges the gap between the result of Haeusler (1988) and Fan and Shao (2018). The bound coincides with the nonuniform Berry-Esseen bound of Haeusler and Joos (1988) for standardized martingales. As a consequence, a Berry-Esseen bound is obtained.
Renz (Ann. Probab. 1996) has established a rate of convergence $1/\sqrt{n}$ in the central limit theorem for martingales with some restrictive conditions. In the present paper a modification of the methods, developed by Bolthausen (Ann. Probab. 1982) and Grama and Haeusler (Stochastic Process. Appl. 2000), is applied for obtaining the same convergence rate for a class of more general martingales. An application to linear processes is discussed.
