AbstractLet UNn be a U-statistic based on a simple random sample of size n selected without replacement from a finite population of size N. Rates of convergence results in the strong law are obtained for UNn, which are similar to those known for classical U-statistics based on samples of independent and identically distributed (iid) random variables.

Let (Xn) be a sequence of independent, identically distributed random variables, with common distribution function F, possibly discontinuous. We use martingale arguments to connect the number of upper records from (Xn) with sums of minima of related random variables. From this relationship we derive a general strong law for the number of records for a wide class of distributions F, including geometric and Poisson.

Introduction and summary: In the distribution of the sum of n random variablesfor which we suppose , the tail probability will be called an extreme tail probability if the normal approximationis poor, when is asymptotically normal and n is large. This paper concerns the specialization of (1.1) in whichwith a random permutation of nλ ones and n − nλ zeros, that is, in which T is the total for a simple random sample from the population with sampling fraction λ. In this case, we will always write T as Tλ. For brevity, we may write {c1,…, cn} for .

AbstractThe complete convergence results for weighted sums of widely orthant-dependent random variables are obtained. A strong law of large numbers for weighted sums of widely orthant-dependent random variables is also obtained. Our results extend and generalize some results of Chen and Sung (J. Inequal. Appl. 2018:121, 2018), Zhang et al. (J. Math. Inequal. 12:1063–1074, 2018), Chen and Sung (Stat. Probab. Lett. 154:108544, 2019), Lang et al. (Rev. Mat. Complut., 2020, 10.1007/s13163-020-00369-5), and Liang (Stat. Probab. Lett. 48:317–325, 2000).

Let{Xn,n≥1}be a sequence of random variables satisfying the Rosenthal-type maximal inequality. Complete convergence is studied for linear statistics that are weighted sums of identically distributed random variables under a suitable moment condition. As an application, the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund-type strong law of large numbers is obtained. Our result generalizes the corresponding one of Zhou et al. (2011) and improves the corresponding one of Wang et al. (2011, 2012).

In this paper we study almost sure convergence for arrays of independent and identically distributed random variables. We obtain a condition under which Marcinkiewicz's strong law holds and get a rate analogous to the law of the iterated logarithm under a condition weaker than Hu and Weber's.
