Complete Convergenceand Complete Moment Convergence for Weighted Sums of ANA Random Variables

In this paper,we investigate the complete convergence and complete moment conver-gence for weighted sums of arrays of rowwise asymptotically negatively associated(ANA)random variables,without assuming identical distribution.The obtained results not only extend those of An and Yuan[1]and Shen et al.[2]to the case of ANA random variables,but also partially improve them.

A THEOREM ON THE CONVERGENCE OF SUMS OF INDEPENDENT RANDOM VARIABLES

Let Sigma (infinity)(n=1) X-n be a series of independent random variables with at least one non-degenerate X-n, and let F-n be the distribution function of its partial sums S-n = Sigma (n)(k=1) X-k. Motivated by Hildebrand's work in [1], the authors investigate the a.s. convergence of Sigma (infinity)(n=1) X-n under a hypothesis that Sigma (infinity)(n=1) rho (X-n, c(n)) = infinity whener Sigma (infinity)(n=1) c(n) diverges, where the notation rho (X,c) denotes the Levy distance between the random variable X and the constant c. The principal result of this paper shows that the hypothesis is the condition under which the convergence of F-n(x(0)) with the limit value 0 < L-0 < 1, together with the essential convergence of Sigma (infinity)(n=1) X-n, is both sufficient and necessary in order for the series Sigma (infinity)(n=1) X-n to a.s. coverage. Moreover, if the essential convergence of Sigma (infinity)(n=1) X-n is strengthened to limsup(n=infinity) P(\S-n\ < K) = 1 for some K > 0, the hypothesis is already equivalent to the a.s. convergence of Sigma (infinity)(n=1) X-n. Here they have not only founded a very general limit theorem, but improved the related result in Hildebrand([1]) as well.

ON THE LIMITING BEHAVIOR OF THE MAXIMUM PARTIAL SUMS FOR ARRAYS OF ROWWISE NA RANDOM VARIABLES

Let {Xni, 1 ≤ n,i 〈 ∞} be an an array of rowwise NA random variables and {an, n ≥ 1} a sequence of constants with 0 〈 an ↑∞ . The limiting behavior of maximum partial sums 1/an max 1≤k≤n｜^k∑i=1 Xni｜ is investigated and some new results are obtained. The results extend and improve the corresponding theorems of rowwise independent random variable arrays by Hu and Taylor [1] and Hu and Chang [2].

On Moments of the Maximum of Normed Partial Sums of ρ^--mixing Random Variables

In this paper, we obtain the moment conditions for the supermun of normed sums of ρ^--mixing random variables by using the Rosenthal-type inequality for Maximum partial sums of ρ^--mixing random variables. The result obtained generalize the results of Chen(2008) and extend those to negatively associated sequences and ρ^--mixing random variables.

Equivalent Conditions of Complete Convergence for Weighted Sums of Sequences of Extended Negatively Dependent Random Variables

By using Rosenthal type moment inequality for extended negatively de- pendent random variables, we establish the equivalent conditions of complete convergence for weighted sums of sequences of extended negatively dependent random variables under more general conditions. These results complement and improve the corresponding results obtained by Li et al. （Li D L, RAO M B, Jiang T F, Wang X C. Complete convergence and almost sure convergence of weighted sums of random variables. J. Theoret. Probab., 1995, 8： 49-76） and Liang （Liang H Y. Complete convergence for weighted sums of negatively associated random variables. Statist. Probab. Lett., 2000, 48： 317-325）.

Almost Sure Convergence of the General Jamison Weighted Sum of B-Valued Random Variables

In this paper,two new functions are introduced to depict the Jamison weighted sum of random variables instead using the common methods,their properties and relationships are system- atically discussed.We also analysed the implication of the conditions in previous papers.Then we apply these consequences to B-valued random variables,and greatly improve the original results of the strong convergence of the general Jamison weighted sum.Furthermore,our discussions are useful to the corresponding questions of real-valued random variables.

Sharp large deviation results for sums of independent random variables

We show sharp bounds for probabilities of large deviations for sums of independent random variables satisfying Bernstein's condition. One such bound is very close to the tail of the standard Gaussian law in certain case; other bounds improve the inequalities of Bennett and Hoeffding by adding missing factors in the spirit of Talagrand(1995). We also complete Talagrand's inequality by giving a lower bound of the same form, leading to an equality. As a consequence, we obtain large deviation expansions similar to those of Cram′er(1938),Bahadur-Rao(1960) and Sakhanenko(1991). We also show that our bound can be used to improve a recent inequality of Pinelis(2014).

随机环境随机游动的小偏差原理

本文给出了随机环境随机游动的小偏差原理,其特色在于我们允许时间和空间的规模配比可以是对数阶的.在Mogul’ski■(1974)给出的独立同分布随机游动的小偏差原理中,空间规模{y_(n)}可以以任意小的速度趋于无穷.在Lv和Hong将此小偏差原理推广至随机环境随机游动这一模型中,但要求空间规模{y_(n)}至少以幂阶速度趋于无穷.本文探讨了当随机环境随机游动满足何种条件时,其空间规模可以放宽至对数阶速度趋于无穷.

关于两随机变量不相关概念的思考

通过两随机变量的相关系数为零来定义两随机变量的不相关是一种通行的做法.当其中一个随机变量的方差为零时,它们的相关性将无法依据此定义进行判断.此外,在上述定义下,得出的“两随机变量独立一定不相关”的结论并不严谨.因此,有必要重新深入剖析不相关的概念,并给出相关教学建议.

Complete Moment and Integral Convergence for Sums of Negatively Associated Random Variables

For a sequence of identically distributed negatively associated random variables {Xn; n ≥ 1} with partial sums Sn = ∑i=1^n Xi, n ≥ 1, refinements are presented of the classical Baum-Katz and Lai complete convergence theorems. More specifically, necessary and sufficient moment conditions are provided for complete moment convergence of the form ∑n≥n0 n^r-2-1/pq anE（max1≤k≤n｜Sk｜^1/q-∈bn^1/qp）^＋〈∞to hold where r 〉 1, q 〉 0 and either n0 = 1,0 〈 p 〈 2, an = 1,bn = n or n0 = 3,p = 2, an = 1 （log n） ^1/2q, bn=n log n. These results extend results of Chow and of Li and Spataru from the indepen- dent and identically distributed case to the identically distributed negatively associated setting. The complete moment convergence is also shown to be equivalent to a form of complete integral convergence.

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.

In this paper we obtain theorems of complete convergence for weighted sums of arrays of rowwise negatively associated （NA） random variables. These results improve and extend the corresponding results obtained by Sung （2007）, Wang et al. （1998） and Li et al. （1995） in independent sequence case.

Binary digit representation of moments for maximum partial sums of random variables and applications

Binary digit representation of partial sums for random variables has been investigated, and a good upper bound of moments of maximum partial sums for random variables has been reduced by using this representation. As an applications, stability and strong law of large numbers have been discussed. Many known classical results have been refined.

Sharp large deviations for sums of bounded from above random variables

We show large deviation expansions for sums of independent and bounded from above random variables. Our moderate deviation expansions are similar to those of Cram′er(1938), Bahadur and Ranga Rao(1960), and Sakhanenko(1991). In particular, our results extend Talagrand's inequality from bounded random variables to random variables having finite(2 + δ)-th moments, where δ∈(0, 1]. As a consequence,we obtain an improvement of Hoeffding's inequality. Applications to linear regression, self-normalized large deviations and t-statistic are also discussed.
