In this paper, the complete moment convergence and the integrability of the supremum for weighted sums of negatively orthant dependent (NOD, in short) random variables are presented. As applications, the complete convergence and the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type strong law of large numbers for NODrandom variables are obtained. The results established in the paper generalize some corresponding ones for independent random variables and negatively associated random variables.

Abstract In this paper, the complete convergence for the weighted sums of arrays of rowwise extended negatively dependent (END, for short) random variables is established under some mild conditions. In addition, the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type strong law of large numbers for arrays of rowwise END random variables is also obtained. The result obtained in the paper generalizes and improves some corresponding ones for independent random variables and some dependent random variables in some extent. By using the complete convergence that we established, we further study the complete consistency for the weighted estimator in a nonparametric regression model based on END errors.

Let{Xni,i≥1,n≥1}be an array of rowwise asymptotically almost negatively associated (AANA, in short) random variables. The complete convergence for weighted sums of arrays of rowwise AANA random variables is studied, which complements and improves the corresponding result of Baek et al. (2008). As applications, the Baum and Katz type result for arrays of rowwise AANA random variables and the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type strong law of large numbers for sequences of AANA random variables are obtained.

We prove the strong law of large numbers for weighted sums∑i=1n‍aniXi, which generalizes and improves the corresponding one for independent and identically distributed random variables andφ-mixing random variables. In addition, we present some results on complete convergence for weighted sums ofρ*-mixing random variables under some suitable conditions, which generalize the corresponding ones for independent random variables.

In this paper, we establish one general result on precise asymptotics of weighted sums for i.i.d. random variables. As a corollary, we have the results of Lanzinger and Stadtmüller [Refined Baum–Katz laws for weighted sums of iid random variables, Statist. Probab. Lett. 69 (2004) 357–368], Gut and Spătaru [Precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm, Ann. Probab. 28 (2000) 1870–1883; Precise asymptotics in the Baum–Katz and Davis laws of large numbers, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 248 (2000) 233–246], Gut and Steinebach [Convergence rates and precise asymptotics for renewal counting processes and some first passage times, Fields Inst. Comm. 44 (2004) 205–227] and Heyde [A supplement to the strong law of large numbers, J. Appl. Probab. 12 (1975) 173–175]. Meanwhile, we provide an answer for the possible conclusion pointed out by Lanzinger and Stadtmüller [Refined Baum–Katz laws for weighted sums of iid random variables, Statist. Probab. Lett. 69 (2004) 357–368].

In this paper, we study the almost sure convergence for sequences of asymptotically negative associated (ANA) random variables. As a result, we extend the classical Khintchine–Kolmogorov convergence theorem, Marcinkiewicz strong law of large numbers, and the three series theorem for sequences of independent random variables to sequences of ANA random variables without necessarily adding any extra conditions.

Let{Xni,i≥1,n≥1}be an array of rowwise asymptotically almost negatively associated random variables. Some sufficient conditions for complete convergence for arrays of rowwise asymptotically almost negatively associated random variables are presented without assumptions of identical distribution. As an application, the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type strong law of large numbers for weighted sums of asymptotically almost negatively associated random variables is obtained.

The limiting behavior of the maximum partial sums(1/an)max1≤j≤n|∑i=1j‍Xni|is investigated, and some new results are obtained, where{Xni,i≥1,n≥1}is an array of rowwise AANA random variables and{an,n≥1}is a sequence of positive real numbers. As an application, the Chung-type strong law of large numbers for arrays of rowwise AANA random variables is obtained. The results extend and improve the corresponding ones of Hu and Taylor (1997) for arrays of rowwise independent random variables.

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).
