Let A1, A2, ···, An be events on a given probability space and let Br, n be the event that exactly r of the A's occur. Let further Sk (n) be the kth binomial moment of the number of the A's which occur. A sufficient condition is given for the existence of lim P (Br,n), as n→ + ∞, in terms of limits of the Sk(n)'s and a formula is given for the limit above. This formula for the limit is similar to the sieve theorem of Takács (1967) for infinite sequences of events and in the proof we make use of Takács's analytic method. The result is immediately applicable to the limit distribution of the maximum of (dependent) random variables X1, X2, ···, Xn by choosing Aj = {Xj ≧ x}. Our main theorem is reformulated for this special case and an example is given for illustration.

In this article, we research some conditions for strong law of large numbers (SLLNs) for weighted sums of extended negatively dependent (END) random variables under sublinear expectation space. Our consequences contain the Kolmogorov strong law of large numbers and the Marcinkiewicz strong law of large numbers for weighted sums of extended negatively dependent random variables. Furthermore, our results extend strong law of large numbers for some sequences of random variables from the traditional probability space to the sublinear expectation space context.

Special Case

In this paper we consider improvements in the rate of approximation for the distribution of sums of independent Bernoulli random variables via convolutions of Poisson measures with signed measures of specific type. As a special case, the distribution of the number of records in an i.i.d. sequence of length n is investigated. For this particular example, it is shown that the usual rate of Poisson approximation of O(1/log n) can be lowered to O(1/n 2). The general case is discussed in terms of operator semigroups.

A monotone coupling of order statistics from two sets of independent non-negative random variables Xi, i = 1, ···, n, and Yi, i = 1, ···, n, means that there exist random variables X′i, Y′i, i = 1, ···, n, on a common probability space such that , and a.s. j = 1, ···, n, where X(1) ≦ X(2) ≦ ·· ·≦ X(n) are the order statistics of Xi, i = 1, ···, n (with the corresponding notations for the X′, Y, Y′ sample). In this paper, we study the monotone coupling of order statistics of lifetimes in two multi-unit systems under multivariate imperfect repair. Similar results for a special model due to Ross are also given.

This paper we study and establish the complete convergence and complete moment convergence theorems under a sub-linear expectation space. As applications, the complete convergence and complete moment convergence for negatively dependent random variables with CV (exp (ln? |X|)) < ?, ? > 1 have been generalized to the sub-linear expectation space context. We extend some complete convergence and complete moment convergence theorems for the traditional probability space to the sub-linear expectation space. Our results generalize corresponding results obtained by Gut and Stadtm?ller (2011), Qiu and Chen (2014) and Wu and Jiang (2016). There is no report on the complete moment convergence under sub-linear expectation, and we provide the method to study this subject.
