Consider independent and identically distributed random variables{Xnk,  1≤k≤m, n≥1}from the Pareto distribution. We randomly select two adjacent order statistics from each row,Xn(i)andXn(i+1), where1≤i≤m−1. Then, we test to see whether or not strong and weak laws of large numbers with nonzero limits for weighted sums of the random variablesXn(i+1)/Xn(i)exist, where we place a prior distribution on the selection of each of these possible pairs of order statistics.

AbstractConsider independent and identically distributed random variables {X nk, 1 ≤ k ≤ m, n ≤ 1} from the Pareto distribution. We select two order statistics from each row, X n(i) ≤ X n(j), for 1 ≤ i < j ≤ = m. Then we test to see whether or not Laws of Large Numbers with nonzero limits exist for weighted sums of the random variables R ij = X n(j)/X n(i).

Under uniform integrability condition, some Weak Laws of large numbers are established for weighted sums of random variables generalizing results of Rohatgi, Pruitt and Khintchine. Some Strong Laws of Large Numbers are proved for weighted sums of pairwise independent random variables generalizing results of Jamison, Orey and Pruitt and Etemadi.

AbstractIn this paper we introduce the multivariate Brownian semistationary (BSS) process and study the joint asymptotic behaviour of its realised covariation using in-fill asymptotics. First, we present a central limit theorem for general multivariate Gaussian processes with stationary increments, which are not necessarily semimartingales. Then, we show weak laws of large numbers, central limit theorems, and feasible results for BSS processes. An explicit example based on the so-called gamma kernels is also provided.
