Our results extend the corresponding ones for independent random variables to case of AANA random variables.

A note on strong law of large numbers of random variables

In this paper, the Chung’s strong law of large numbers is generalized to the random variables which do not need the condition of independence, while the sequence of Borel functions verifies some conditions weaker than that in Chung’s theorem. Some convergence theorems for martingale difference sequence such as Lp martingale difference sequence are the particular cases of results achieved in this paper. Finally, the convergence theorem for A-summability of sequence of random variables is proved, where A is a suitable real infinite matrix.

Strong Law of Large Numbers for Weighted Sums of Random Variables and Its Applications in EV Regression Models

This paper mainly studies the strong convergence properties for weighted sums of extended negatively dependent(END,for short)random variables.Some sufficient conditions to prove the strong law of large numbers for weighted sums of END random variables are provided.In particular,the authors obtain the weighted version of Kolmogorov type strong law of large numbers for END random variables as a product.The results that the authors obtained generalize the corresponding ones for independent random variables and some dependent random variables.As an application,the authors investigate the errors-in-variables(EV,for short)regression models and establish the strong consistency for the least square estimators.Simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed procedure and a real example is analysed for illustration.

A Remark on Strong Law of Large Numbers for Weighted U-Statistics

Let （X, Xn; n≥ 1} be a sequence of i.i.d, random variables with values in a measurable space （S,8） such that E｜h（X1, X2,..., Xm）｜ 〈 ∞, where h is a measurable symmetric function from Sm into R = （-∞, ∞）. Let {wn,i1,i2 im ; 1 ≤ i1 〈 i2 〈 …… 〈im 〈 n, n ≥ m} be a matrix array of real numbers. Motivated by a result of Choi and Sung （1987）, in this note we are concerned with establishing a strong law of large numbers for weighted U-statistics with kernel h of degree m. We show that whenever SUP n≥m max1〈i1〈i2〈…〈im≤｜wn i1,i2 i,im｜ 〈∞, where 0 = Eh（X1, X2,..., Xm）. The proof of this result is based on a new general result on complete convergence, which is a fundamental tool, for array of real-valued random variables under some mild conditions.

The Strong Convergence Properties for Partial Sums of m-NA Random Variables

In this paper, by the three series theorem of m-negatively associated(m-NA,in short) random variables and the truncation method of random variables, we mainly investigated the strong convergence properties for partial sums of m-NA random variables.In addition, the Khintchine-Kolmogorov convergence theorem and Kolmogorov-type strong law of large numbers for m-NA random variables are also obtained. The results obtained in the paper generalize some corresponding ones for independent random variables and some dependent random variables.

Strong laws of large numbers for sub-linear expectations

We investigate three kinds of strong laws of large numbers for capacities with a new notion of independently and identically distributed(IID) random variables for sub-linear expectations initiated by Peng.It turns out that these theorems are natural and fairly neat extensions of the classical Kolmogorov's strong law of large numbers to the case where probability measures are no longer additive. An important feature of these strong laws of large numbers is to provide a frequentist perspective on capacities.

Strong Laws of Large Numbers for Sublinear Expectation under Controlled 1st Moment Condition

This paper deals with strong laws of large numbers for sublinear expectation under controlled 1st moment condition. For a sequence of independent random variables,the author obtains a strong law of large numbers under conditions that there is a control random variable whose 1st moment for sublinear expectation is finite. By discussing the relation between sublinear expectation and Choquet expectation, for a sequence of i.i.d random variables, the author illustrates that only the finiteness of uniform 1st moment for sublinear expectation cannot ensure the validity of the strong law of large numbers which in turn reveals that our result does make sense.
