On the strong law of large numbers for sequences of dependent random variables

New sufficient conditions for the applicability of the strong law of large numbers are established for sequences of random variables without the independence conditions. Results on strong stability of sums of dependent random variables are also obtained. No particular type of dependence between random variables of a sequence is assumed. Only conditions related to moments of random variables and their sums are used. It is shown that the results obtained are unimprovable in certain sense. These results are generalizations of some results of N. Etemadi proved under more restrictive conditions.     

Some estimates for sums of dependent random variables which hold almost surely

Some estimates are proved for sums of dependent random variables. Theorem 1 contains no assumptions regarding the existence of moments of the random variables. In Theorem 2 estimates are given for the growth of sums of random variables in a stationary sequence.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Exponential inequalities under the sub-linear expectations with applications to laws of the iterated logarithm

Kolmogorov’s exponential inequalities are basic tools for studying the strong limit theorems such as the classical laws of the iterated logarithm for both independent and dependent random variables. This paper establishes the Kolmogorov type exponential inequalities of the partial sums of independent random variables as well as negatively dependent random variables under the sub-linear expectations. As applications of the exponential inequalities, the laws of the iterated logarithm in the sense of non-additive capacities are proved for independent or negatively dependent identically distributed random variables with finite second order moments. For deriving a lower bound of an exponential inequality, a central limit theorem is also proved under the sub-linear expectation for random variables with only finite variances.

Precise moment and tail bounds for Rademacher sums in terms of weak parameters

A precise deviation inequality in terms of weak moments is proved for Rademacher sums. It yields an asymptotic equality of the optimal constants in the Khinchin and Khinchin-Kahane inequalities.

An Inductive Proof of the Berry-Esseen Theorem for Character Ratios

Bolthausen used a variation of Stein’s method to give an inductive proof of the Berry-Esseen theorem for sums of independent, identically distributed random variables. We modify this technique to prove a Berry-Esseen theorem for character ratios of a random representation of the symmetric group on transpositions. An analogous result is proved for Jack measure on partitions. Received March 11, 2005

Bounds for some general sums of random variables

Rogers and Shi (1995) have used the technique of conditional expectations to derive approximations for the distribution of a sum of lognormals. In this paper we extend their results to more general sums of random variables. In particular we study sums of functions of dependent random variables that are multivariate normally distributed and also derive results for sums of functions of dependent random variables from the additive exponential dispersion family. The usefulness of our results for practical applications is also discussed.

On the DFR property of the compound geometric distribution with applications in risk theory

In 1988, Shanthikumar proved that the sum of a geometrically distributed number of i.i.d. DFR random variables is also DFR. In this paper, motivated by the inverse problem, we study monotonicity properties related to defective renewal equations, and obtain that if a compound geometric distribution is DFR, then the random variables of the sums are NWU (a class that contains DFR). Furthermore, we investigate some applications of risk theory and give a characterization of the exponential distribution.
