APPROXIMATION OF THE TAIL PROBABILITIES FOR BIDIMENSIONAL RANDOMLY WEIGHTED SUMS WITH DEPENDENT COMPONENTS

Let $\left\{ {{\bi X}_k = {(X_{1,k},X_{2,k})}^{\top}, k \ge 1} \right\}$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random vectors whose components are allowed to be generally dependent with marginal distributions being from the class of extended regular variation, and let $\left\{ {{\brTheta} _k = {(\Theta _{1,k},\Theta _{2,k})}^{\top}, k \ge 1} \right\}$ be a sequence of nonnegative random vectors that is independent of $\left\{ {{\bi X}_k, k \ge 1} \right\}$. Under several mild assumptions, some simple asymptotic formulae of the tail probabilities for the bidimensional randomly weighted sums $\left( {\sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\Theta _{1,k}} X_{1,k},\sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\Theta _{2,k}} X_{2,k}} \right)^{\rm \top }$ and their maxima $({{\max} _{1 \le i \le n}}\sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^i {\Theta _{1,k}} X_{1,k},{{\max} _{1 \le i \le n}}\sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^i {\Theta _{2,k}} X_{2,k})^{\rm \top }$ are established. Moreover, uniformity of the estimate can be achieved under some technical moment conditions on $\left\{ {{\brTheta} _k, k \ge 1} \right\}$. Direct applications of the results to risk analysis are proposed, with two types of ruin probability for a discrete-time bidimensional risk model being evaluated.
