Asymptotic Tail Probabilities of Sums of Dependent Subexponential Random Variables

چکیده
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 particular, the two dependence assumptions are satisfied by multivariate Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern distributions.

متن کاملLarge-deviation Probabilities for Maxima of Sums of Independent Random Variables with Negative Mean and Subexponential Distribution∗
Abstract. We consider the sums Sn = ξ1 + · · · + ξn of independent identically distributed random variables with negative mean value. In the case of subexponential distribution of the summands, the asymptotic behavior is found for the probability of the event that the maximum of sums max(S1, . . . , Sn) exceeds high level x. The asymptotics obtained describe this tail probability uniformly with...

Let {Xk, k ≥ 1} be a sequence of independently and identically distributed random variables with common subexponential distribution function concentrated on (−∞,∞), and let τ be a nonnegative and integer-valued random variable with a finite mean and which is independent of the sequence {Xk, k ≥ 1}. This paper investigates asymptotic behavior of the tail probabilities P(· > x) and the local prob...
متن کاملOn Sums of Conditionally Independent Subexponential Random Variables
The asymptotic tail-behaviour of sums of independent subexponential random variables is well understood, one of the main characteristics being the principle of the single big jump. We study the case of dependent subexponential random variables, for both deterministic and random sums, using a fresh approach, by considering conditional independence structures on the random variables. We seek suff...
متن کاملTail Probabilities of Randomly Weighted Sums of Random Variables with Dominated Variation
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 r...
