On the strong convergence properties for weighted sums of negatively orthant dependent random variables

摘要

In the paper, the strong convergence properties for two different weighted sums of negatively orthant dependent(NOD) random variables are investigated. Let {X_n, n ≥ 1}be a sequence of NOD random variables. The results obtained in the paper generalize the corresponding ones for i.i.d. random variables and identically distributed NA random variables to the case of NOD random variables, which are stochastically dominated by a random variable X. As a byproduct, the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type strong law of large numbers for NOD random variables is also obtained.
