On the Strong Limit Theorems for Double Arrays of Blockwise M-dependent Random Variables

For a double array of blockwise M-dependent random variables {Xmn,m ≥ 1,n ≥ 1}, ∑i^m=1 ∑^nj=1 strong laws of large numbers are established for double sums ∑m i=1 ∑j^n=1 ij, m≥ 1, n 〉 1. The main results are obtained for （i） random variables {Xmn, m≥ 1, n ≥ 1} being non-identically distributed but satisfy a condition on the summability condition for the moments and （ii） random variables {Xmn, m ≥ 1, n ≥ 1} being stochastically dominated. The result in Case （i） generalizes the main result of M6ricz et al. [J. Theoret. Probab., 21, 660-671 （2008）] from dyadic to arbitrary blocks, whereas the result in Case （ii） extends a result of Gut [Ann. Probab., 6, 469-482 （1978）] to the bockwise M-dependent setting. The sharpness of the results is illustrated by some examples.

Exploration of the Impact Mechanism of Government Credibility Based on Variable Screening Method

Government credibility is an important asset of contemporary national governance, an important criterion for evaluating government legitimacy, and a key factor in measuring the effectiveness of government governance. In recent years, researchers’ research on government credibility has mostly focused on exploring theories and mechanisms, with little empirical research on this topic. This article intends to apply variable selection models in the field of social statistics to the issue of government credibility, in order to achieve empirical research on government credibility and explore its core influencing factors from a statistical perspective. Specifically, this article intends to use four regression-analysis-based methods and three random-forest-based methods to study the influencing factors of government credibility in various provinces in China, and compare the performance of these seven variable selection methods in different dimensions. The research results show that there are certain differences in simplicity, accuracy, and variable importance ranking among different variable selection methods, which present different importance in the study of government credibility issues. This study provides a methodological reference for variable selection models in the field of social science research, and also offers a multidimensional comparative perspective for analyzing the influencing factors of government credibility.

MATHEMATICAL EXPECTATION ABOUT DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLE WITH INTERVAL PROBABILITY OR FUZZY PROBABILITY

The character and an algorithm about DRVIP（ discrete random variable with interval probability） and the secured kind DRVFP （discrete random variable with crisp event-fuzzy probability） are researched. Using the fuzzy resolution theorem, the solving mathematical expectation of a DRVFP can be translated into solving mathematical expectation of a series of RVIP. It is obvious that solving mathematical expectation of a DRVIP is a typical linear programming problem. A very functional calculating formula for solving mathematical expectation of DRVIP was obtained by using the Dantzig＇s simplex method. The example indicates that the result obtained by using the functional calculating formula fits together completely with the result obtained by using the linear programming method, but the process using the formula deduced is simpler.

Reliability analysis for aeroengine turbine disc fatigue life with multiple random variables based on distributed collaborative response surface method

The fatigue life of aeroengine turbine disc presents great dispersion due to the randomness of the basic variables,such as applied load,working temperature,geometrical dimensions and material properties.In order to ameliorate reliability analysis efficiency without loss of reliability,the distributed collaborative response surface method(DCRSM) was proposed,and its basic theories were established in this work.Considering the failure dependency among the failure modes,the distributed response surface was constructed to establish the relationship between the failure mode and the relevant random variables.Then,the failure modes were considered as the random variables of system response to obtain the distributed collaborative response surface model based on structure failure criterion.Finally,the given turbine disc structure was employed to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the presented method.Through the comparison of DCRSM,Monte Carlo method(MCM) and the traditional response surface method(RSM),the results show that the computational precision for DCRSM is more consistent with MCM than RSM,while DCRSM needs far less computing time than MCM and RSM under the same simulation conditions.Thus,DCRSM is demonstrated to be a feasible and valid approach for improving the computational efficiency of reliability analysis for aeroengine turbine disc fatigue life with multiple random variables,and has great potential value for the complicated mechanical structure with multi-component and multi-failure mode.

Let{Xn^-,n^-∈N^d}be a field of Banach space valued random variables, 0 〈r〈p≤2 and{an^-,k^-, （n^-,k^-） ∈ N^d × N^d ,k^-≤n^-} a triangular array of real numhers, where N^d is the d-dimensional lattice （d≥1 ）. Under the minimal condition that {｜｜Xn^-｜｜ r,n^- ∈N^d} is {｜an^-,k^-｜^r,（n^-,k^-）} ∈ N^d ×N^d,k^-≤n^-}-uniformly integrable, we show that ∑（k^-≤n^-）an^-,k^-,Xk^-^（L^r（or a,s,）→0 as ｜n^-｜→∞ In the above, if 0〈r〈1, the random variables are not needed to be independent.
