Berry–Esseen for Free Random Variables

Berry-Esseen for Free Random Variables

An analogue of the Berry-Esseen inequality is proved for the speed of convergence of free additive convolutions of bounded probability measures. The obtained rate of convergence is of the order n, the same as in the classical case. An example with binomial measures shows that this estimate cannot be improved without imposing further restrictions on convolved measures. Courant Institute of Mathe...

Dominated Convergence for Fuzzy Random Variables

SOME PROBABILISTIC INEQUALITIES FOR FUZZY RANDOM VARIABLES

In this paper, the concepts of positive dependence and linearlypositive quadrant dependence are introduced for fuzzy random variables. Also,an inequality is obtained for partial sums of linearly positive quadrant depen-dent fuzzy random variables. Moreover, a weak law of large numbers is estab-lished for linearly positive quadrant dependent fuzzy random variables. Weextend some well known inequ...

Maximal Inequalities for Associated Random Variables

In a celebrated work by Shao [13] several inequalities for negatively associated random variables were proved. In this paper we obtain some maximal inequalities for associated random variables. Also we establish a maximal inequality for demimartingales which generalizes and improves the result of Christofides [4].

Gap-Free Samples of Geometric Random Variables

We study the probability that a sample of independent, identically distributed random variables with a geometric distribution is gap-free, that is, that the sizes of the variables in the sample form an interval. We indicate that this problem is closely related to the asymptotic probability that a random composition of an integer n is likewise gap-free.
