چکیده

Abstract: Let Mn be the maximum of n zero-mean gaussian variables X1, .., Xn with covariance matrix of minimum eigenvalue λ and maximum eigenvalue Λ. Then, for n ≥ 70, Pr{Mn ≥ λ (2 logn− 2.5− log(2 logn− 2.5)) 1 2 − .68Λ} ≥ 1 2 . Bounds are also given for tail probabilities other than 1 2 . Upper bounds are given for tail probabilities of the maximum of dependent identically distributed variables. As an application, the maximum of purely non-deterministic stationary Gaussian processes is shown to have the same first order asymptotic behaviour as the maximum of independent gaussian processes.

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 . In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the tail probabilities of the maximum, weighted sums, randomly weighted sums and randomly indexed weighted sums of heavy...

Some Probability Inequalities for Quadratic Forms of Negatively Dependent Subgaussian Random Variables

In this paper, we obtain the upper exponential bounds for the tail probabilities of the quadratic forms for negatively dependent subgaussian random variables. In particular the law of iterated logarithm for quadratic forms of independent subgaussian random variables is generalized to the case of negatively dependent subgaussian random variables.

Strong Convergence of Weighted Sums for Negatively Orthant Dependent Random Variables

We discuss in this paper the strong convergence for weighted sums of negatively orthant dependent (NOD) random variables by generalized Gaussian techniques. As a corollary, a Cesaro law of large numbers of i.i.d. random variables is extended in NOD setting by generalized Gaussian techniques.

MARCINKIEWICZ-TYPE STRONG LAW OF LARGE NUMBERS FOR DOUBLE ARRAYS OF NEGATIVELY DEPENDENT RANDOM VARIABLES

In the following work we present a proof for the strong law of large numbers for pairwise negatively dependent random variables which relaxes the usual assumption of pairwise independence. Let be a double sequence of pairwise negatively dependent random variables. If for all non-negative real numbers t and , for 1 < p < 2, then we prove that (1). In addition, it also converges to 0 in ....
