A Local Limit Theorem for Sums of Dependent Random Variables

Central and Local Limit Theories in Markov Dependent Random Variables

On the Complete Convergence ofWeighted Sums for Dependent Random Variables

We study the limiting behavior of weighted sums for negatively associated (NA) random variables. We extend results in Wu (1999) and a theorem in Chow and Lai (1973) for NA random variables.

The Almost Sure Convergence for Weighted Sums of Linear Negatively Dependent Random Variables

In this paper, we generalize a theorem of Shao [12] by assuming that is a sequence of linear negatively dependent random variables. Also, we extend some theorems of Chao [6] and Thrum [14]. It is shown by an elementary method that for linear negatively dependent identically random variables with finite -th absolute moment the weighted sums converge to zero as where and is an array of...

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.

The Local Limit Theorem: A Historical Perspective

The local limit theorem describes how the density of a sum of random variables follows the normal curve. However the local limit theorem is often seen as a curiosity of no particular importance when compared with the central limit theorem. Nevertheless the local limit theorem came first and is in fact associated with the foundation of probability theory by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fer...
