A Note on the Strong Law of Large Numbers
Petrov (1996) proved the connection between general moment conditions and the applicability of the strong law of large numbers to a sequence of pairwise independent and identically distributed random variables. This note examines this connection to a sequence of pairwise negative quadrant dependent (NQD) and identically distributed random variables. As a consequence of the main theorem ...
متن کاملLaw of large numbers for the possibilistic mean value
A law of large numbers for the possibilistic mean value of a variable in a possibility space is presented. An example shows that the convergence in distribution (under a definition involving the possibilistic mean value) of the sample average to a variable with a certain distribution cannot be replaced, in general, by convergence either almost surely or in necessity. Even so, the usual presenta...
متن کاملOn the Convergence Rate of the Law of Large Numbers for Sums of Dependent Random Variables
In this paper, we generalize some results of Chandra and Goswami [4] for pairwise negatively dependent random variables (henceforth r.v.’s). Furthermore, we give Baum and Katz’s [1] type results on estimate for the rate of convergence in these laws.
متن کاملThe Law of Large Numbers
at the same time, the mean chance of the contrary event F will be the sum of the fractions 1− p1, −− p2, . . . 1− pμ , divided by μ; and by designating it by q′, one will have p′+q′ = 1. This being, the one of the general propositions, which we wish to consider, consists in this that if one calls m and n the numbers of times that E and F will arrive or are arrived during the series of these tri...
متن کاملHyperfinite law of large numbers
The Loeb space construction in nonstandard analysis is applied to the theory of processes to reveal basic phenomena which cannot be treated using classical methods. An asymptotic interpretation of results established here shows that for a triangular array (or a sequence) of random variables, asymptotic uncorrelatedness or asymptotic pairwise independence is necessary and sufficient for the vali...
