Abstract: | For a sequence of constants {a
n,n 1}, an array of rowwise independent and stochastically dominated random elements { V
nj, j 1, n 1} in a real separable Rademacher type p (1 p 2) Banach space, and a sequence of positive integer-valued random variables {T
n, n 1}, a general weak law of large numbers of the form
is established where {c
nj, j 1, n 1},
n , b
n are suitable sequences. Some related results are also presented. No assumption is made concerning the existence of expected values or absolute moments of the {V
nj, j 1, n 1}. Illustrative examples include one wherein the strong law of large numbers fails. |
