The Almost Sure Limit Theorem for Sums of Random Vectors

We establish a sufficient condition for an almost sure limit theorem for sums of independent random vectors under minimal moment conditions and assumptions on normalizing sequences. We provide an example showing that our condition is close to the optimal one, as well as a related sufficient condition due to Berkes and Dehling. Bibliography: 5 titles.

A Berry-Esséen bound for student's statistic in the non-I.I.D. case

We establish a Berry-Esséen bound for Student's statistic for independent (nonidentically) distributed random variables. In particular, the bound implies a sharp estimate similar to the classical Berry-Esséen bound. In the i.i.d. case it yields sufficient conditions for the Central Limit Theorem for studentized sums. For non-i.i.d. random variables the bound shows that the Lindeberg condition is sufficient for the Central Limit Theorem for studentized sums.Research supported by the SFB 343 in Bielefeld.

A limit theorem for random sums modulo 1

Residues of partial sums in a class of dependent random variables, including functionals of uniformly recurrent Markov chains, are in the domain of attraction of the uniform distribution. These types of limit theorems arise for example in the multiplication of floating-point numbers.     

Toward the History of the Saint Petersburg School of Probability and Statistics. I. Limit Theorems for Sums of Independent Random Variables

This is the first in a series of reviews devoted to the scientific achievements of the Leningrad–St. Petersburg school of probability and statistics in the period from 1947 to 2017. It is devoted to limit theorems for sums of independent random variables—a traditional subject for St. Petersburg. It refers to the classical limit theorems: the law of large numbers, the central limit theorem, and the law of the iterated logarithm, as well as important relevant problems formulated in the second half of the twentieth century. The latter include the approximation of the distributions of sums of independent variables by infinitely divisible distributions, estimation of the accuracy of strong Gaussian approximation of such sums, and the limit theorems on the weak almost sure convergence of empirical measures generated by sequences of sums of independent random variables and vectors.     

A central limit theorem for random sums of random variables

Anscombe (1952) (also see Chung (1974)) has developed a central limit theoremof random sums of independent and identically distributed random variables. Applicability of this theorem in practice, however, is limited since the normalization requires random factors. In this paper we establish sufficient conditions under which the central limit theorem holds when such random factors are replaced by the underlying asymptotic mean and standard ddeviation. An application of this result in the context of shock models is also given.

Moment Complete Convergence for Weighted Sums of -Mixing Random Variables

In this paper, the authors discuss the moment complete convergence for weighted sums of -mixing random variables, and obtains the sufficient condition for moment complete convergence of -mixing sequence under some mixing rate condition, which generalize the result of moment complete convergence for weighted sums of i.i.d. random variables to -mixing random variables.     

The convergence of moments in the martingale central limit theorem

Summary An early extension of the Lindeberg-Feller Theorem was Bernstein's discovery of necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of moments in the central limit theorem for sums of independent random variables. In this paper we show that Bernstein's work has a generalisation to martingales. We extend his work in both the independence and the martingale cases by showing that there exists a duality between the behaviour of the moments of the martingale and the behaviour of the sums of squares of the martingale differences. Our proofs are quite unrelated to Bernstein's and are based on Burkholder's inequalities.     

Estimate of Distributions of Sums of Independent Random Variables

We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions under which one estimate of exponential type is valid for large deviation probabilities of sums of independent identically distributed random variables. Bibliography: 3 titles.     

Limit theorems on locally compact Abelian groups

We prove limit theorems for row sums of a rowwise independent infinitesimal array of random variables with values in a locally compact Abelian group. First we give a proof of Gaiser's theorem [4, Satz 1.3.6], since it does not have an easy access and it is not complete. This theorem gives sufficient conditions for convergence of the row sums, but the limit measure cannot have a nondegenerate idempotent factor. Then we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of the row sums, where the limit measure can be also a nondegenerate Haar measure on a compact subgroup. Finally, we investigate special cases: the torus group, the group of p ‐adic integers and the p ‐adic solenoid. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Convergence of processes of step sums on mixing processes

We prove a limit theorem on the convergence of nonhomogeneous centered processes of step sums, constructed on random mixing sequences, to a process with independent increments. We also prove a invariance-principle type theorem for schemes of summation of functionals on random mixing sequences.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 5, pp. 716–721, May, 1990.

A strong law of large numbers for orthogonal random variables

A generalization of one theorem of K. Tandori is proved. A sufficient condition is derived for application of a strong law of large numbers to a sequence of orthogonal random variables, expressed in terms of the growth of sums of second moments of these variables.     

On the convergence in law of almost all sums of independent random variables

The paper deals with sums of independent and identically distributed random variables defined on some probability space which are multiplied by random coefficients. These coefficients are the values of independent random variables defined on another probability space. We obtain conditions for the weak convergence of weighted sums, for almost all coefficients, to some infinitely divisible distribution. The limit distribution for these sums is found.

Complete Convergence and Complete Moment Convergence for Maximal Weighted Sums of Extended Negatively Dependent Random Variables

In this paper,the complete convergence and complete moment convergence for maximal weighted sums of extended negatively dependent random variables are investigated.Some sufficient conditions for the convergence are provided.In addition,the Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund type strong law of large numbers for weighted sums of extended negatively dependent random variables is obtained.The results obtained in the article extend the corresponding ones for independent random variables and some dependent random variables.     

The convergence of the random lines defined by observations of a stochastic process

We deal with independent random variables which are the values of a stochastic process taken at random points in time. So we have random variables depending upon a random parameter. We obtain the conditions providing the weak convergence of random lines defined by sums or maxima or bilinear forms of these random variables for almost all values of the parameter, to one and the same stochastic process. These limit stochastic processes are described. Proceedings of the XVII Seminar on Stability Problems for Stochastic Models, Kazan, Russia, 1995, Part II.     

Limit theorems for functionals of Gaussian vectors

Operator self-similar processes, as an extension of self-similar processes, have been studied extensively. In this work, we study limit theorems for functionals of Gaussian vectors. Under some conditions, we determine that the limit of partial sums of functionals of a stationary Gaussian sequence of random vectors is an operator self-similar process.     

Convergence in law of random sums with non-random centering

We extend results obtained in Kruglov,⁽⁷⁾ and Finkelstein and Tucker⁽³⁾ to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence in law of random sums of non-identically distributed independent random variables under non-random centering. Thei.i.d. case is also considered for random variables attracted to a stable law. Necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence in law of these random variables under non-random centering, and in some cases, under non-random norming, are also obtained. The distribution functions for the limit laws are determined as well, generalizing results of Robbins.⁽¹⁰⁾ Supported in part by The State University of New York and United States Information Agency Grant No. IA AEMP69193692.
