Abstract:
Geometrically weighted i.i.d. random variables {Yn} which are bounded above are shown to exhibit iterated logarithm type behavior. Specifically, if b > 1 and if the lower tail of the distribution of Y1 approaches 0 fast enough, then lim supn→∞(b?1) Σnj=1b1Yj?bn+1=L, almost certainly, where L is the essential supremum of Y1.
