A Comparison Inequality for Sums of Independent Random Variables∗
We give a comparison inequality that allows one to estimate the tail probabilities of sums of independent Banach space valued random variables in terms of those of independent identically distributed random variables. More precisely, let X1, . . . , Xn be independent Banach-valued random variables. Let I be a random variable independent of X1, . . . , Xn and uniformly distributed over {1, . . ....
متن کاملOn 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.
متن کاملStrong Laws for Weighted Sums of Negative Dependent Random Variables
In this paper, we discuss strong laws for weighted sums of pairwise negatively dependent random variables. The results on i.i.d case of Soo Hak Sung [9] are generalized and extended.
متن کاملEstimating Sums of Independent Random Variables
The paper deals with a problem proposed by Uriel Feige in 2005: if X1, . . . , Xn is a set of independent nonnegative random variables with expectations equal to 1, is it true that P ( ∑n i=1 Xi < n + 1) > 1 e ? He proved that P ( ∑n i=1Xi < n + 1) > 1 13 . In this paper we prove that infimum of the P ( ∑n i=1Xi < n + 1) can be achieved when all random variables have only two possible values, a...
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.
