Large deviations for sums of independent random variables with dominatedly varying tails

In this paper the large deviation results for partial and random sums Sn-ESn=n∑i=1Xi-n∑i=1EXi,n≥1;S(t)-ES(t)=N(t)∑i=1Xi-E(N(t)∑i=1Xi),t≥0are proved, where {N(t); t≥ 0} is a counting process of non-negative integer-valued random variables, and {Xn; n ≥ 1} are a sequence of independent non-negative random variables independent of {N(t); t ≥ 0}. These results extend and improve some known conclusions.     

Large deviations for heavy-tailed random sums of independent random variables with dominatedly varying tails

We prove large deviation results on the partial and random sums Sn = ∑i=1n Xi,n≥1; S(t) = ∑i=1N(t) Xi, t≥0, where {N(t);t≥0} are non-negative integer-valued random variables and {Xn;n≥1} are independent non-negative random variables with distribution, Fn, of Xn, independent of {N(t); t≥0}. Special attention is paid to the distribution of dominated variation.     

Precise large deviations for widely orthant dependent random variables with dominatedly varying tails

For the widely orthant dependent (WOD) structure, this paper mainly investigates the precise large deviations for the partial sums ofWOD and non-identically distributed random variables with dominatedly varying tails. The obtained results extend some corresponding results.     

The product of two dependent random variables with regularly varying or rapidly varying tails

Let X and Y be two nonnegative and dependent random variables following a generalized Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern distribution. In this short note, we study the impact of a dependence structure of X and Y on the tail behavior of XY. We quantify the impact as the limit, as x→∞, of the quotient of Pr(XY>x) and Pr(X^∗Y^∗>x), where X^∗ and Y^∗ are independent random variables identically distributed as X and Y, respectively. We obtain an explicit expression for this limit when X is regularly varying or rapidly varying tailed.     

Asymptotics for dependent sums of random vectors

We consider sequences of length m of n‐tuples each with k nonzero entries chosen randomly from an Abelian group or finite field. For what values of m does there exist a subsequence which is zero‐sum or linearly dependent, respectively? We report some results relating to these problems. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Asymptotics for dependent Bernoulli random variables

This paper considers a sequence of Bernoulli random variables which are dependent in a way that the success probability of a trial conditional on the previous trials depends on the total number of successes achieved prior to the trial. The paper investigates almost sure behaviors for the sequence and proves the strong law of large numbers under weak conditions. For linear probability functions, the paper also obtains the strong law of large numbers, the central limit theorems and the law of the iterated logarithm, extending the results by James et al. (2008).     

On the strong convergence properties for weighted sums of negatively orthant dependent random variables

In the paper, the strong convergence properties for two different weighted sums of negatively orthant dependent(NOD) random variables are investigated. Let {X_n, n ≥ 1}be a sequence of NOD random variables. The results obtained in the paper generalize the corresponding ones for i.i.d. random variables and identically distributed NA random variables to the case of NOD random variables, which are stochastically dominated by a random variable X. As a byproduct, the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type strong law of large numbers for NOD random variables is also obtained.     

Precise large deviations for sums of random vectors with dependent components of consistently varying tails

Let {X _i = (X _1,i ,...,X _m,i )^?, i ≥ 1} be a sequence of independent and identically distributed nonnegative m-dimensional random vectors. The univariate marginal distributions of these vectors have consistently varying tails and finite means. Here, the components of X ₁ are allowed to be generally dependent. Moreover, let N(·) be a nonnegative integer-valued process, independent of the sequence {X _i , i ≥ 1}. Under several mild assumptions, precise large deviations for S _n = Σ _i=1 ⁿ X _i and S _N(t) = Σ _i=1 ^N(t) X _i are investigated. Meanwhile, some simulation examples are also given to illustrate the results.

Limit theorems for sums of dependent random variables

Summary In Lai and Stout [7] the upper half of the law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) is established for sums of strongly dependent stationary Gaussian random variables. Herein, the upper half of the LIL is established for strongly dependent random variables {X _i} which are however not necessarily Gaussian. Applications are made to multiplicative random variables and to f(Z _i ) where the Z _i are strongly dependent Gaussian. A maximal inequality and a Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type strong law are established for sums of strongly dependent random variables X _i satisfying a moment condition of the form E¦S _a,n ¦^pg(n), where , generalizing the work of Serfling [13, 14].Research supported by the National Science Foundation under grant NSF-MCS-78-09179Research supported by the National Science Foundation under grant NSF-MCS-78-04014     

On the complete convergence of sums of negatively associated random variables

This paper extends results on complete convergence in the law of large numbers for subsequences to the case of negatively associated nonidentically distributed random variables. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 68, No. 3, pp. 411–420, September, 2000.     

On the exponential inequalities for negatively dependent random variables

A number of exponential inequalities for identically distributed negatively dependent and negatively associated random variables have been established by many authors. The proofs use the truncation technique together with the control of the bounded terms and unbounded terms. In this paper, we improve essentially the control of bounds for the unbounded terms and obtain exponential inequalities for negatively dependent random variables which include negatively associated random variables. Our results improve on the corresponding ones in the literature.

Moment inequality for sums of multi-indexed dependent random variables

We study a real random field defined on an integer lattice. Its dependence is described by certain covariance inequalities. We obtain an upper bound of absolute moments of appropriate order for particular sums (generated by a given field) taken over finite sets of arbitrary configuration.
