Tail Probabilities of Randomly Weighted Sums of Random Variables with Dominated Variation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of tail probabilities of randomly weighted sums of independent heavy-tailed random variables, where the weights form another sequence of nonnegative and arbitrarily dependent random variables. The results obtained are further applied to derive asymptotic estimates for the ruin probabilities in a discrete time risk model with dependent stochastic returns.

Asymptotic Behavior of Weighted Sums of Weakly Negative Dependent Random Variables
Let be a sequence of weakly negative dependent (denoted by, WND) random variables with common distribution function F and let be other sequence of positive random variables independent of and for some and for all .

متن کاملBounds for Tail Probabilities of Weighted Sums of Independent Gamma Random Variables
The tail probabilities of two weighted sums of independent gamma random variables are compared when the first vector of weights majorizes the second vector of weights. The conjecture that the two cumulative distribution .functions cross exactly once is established in four special cases by means of the variation-diminishing property of totally positive kernels. Bounds are obtained for the locati...
متن کاملAsymptotic Tail Probabilities of Sums of Dependent Subexponential Random Variables
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the tail probabilities of sums of dependent and real-valued random variables whose distributions are assumed to be subexponential and not necessarily of dominated variation. We propose two general dependence assumptions under which the asymptotic behavior of the tail probabilities of the sums is the same as that in the independent case. In parti...
متن کاملApproximation of the tail probability of randomly weighted sums and applications
Consider the problem of approximating the tail probability of randomly weighted sums ∑n i=1 ΘiXi and their maxima, where {Xi, i ≥ 1} is a sequence of identically distributed but not necessarily independent random variables from the extended regular variation class and {Θi, i ≥ 1} is a sequence of nonnegative random variables, independent of {Xi, i ≥ 1} and satisfying certain moment conditions. ...
متن کاملRandomly Weighted Sums of Subexponential Random Variables with Application to Capital Allocation
We are interested in the tail behavior of the randomly weighted sum ∑n i=1 θiXi, in which the primary random variables X1, . . . , Xn are real valued, independent and subexponentially distributed, while the random weights θ1, . . . , θn are nonnegative and arbitrarily dependent, but independent of X1, . . . , Xn. For various important cases, we prove that the tail probability of ∑n i=1 θiXi is ...
