On large deviations for sums of independent random variables
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers large deviation results for sums of independent random variables, generalizing the result of Petrov (1968) by using a weaker and more natural condition on bounds of the cumulant generating functions of the sequence of random variables. MSC 60F10, 60G50, 62E20.

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...
متن کاملLarge deviations for sums of partly dependent random variables
We use and extend a method by Hoeffding to obtain strong large deviation bounds for sums of dependent random variables with suitable dependency structure. The method is based on breaking up the sum into sums of independent variables. Applications are given to U -statistics, random strings and random graphs.
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.

There is a vast riches of limit theorems for sums of independent random variables: theorems about weak convergence, on large deviations, theorems with asymptotic expansions, etc. We can try to obtain the same kinds of theorems for families of stochastic processes. If X1, X2, ..., Xn, ... is a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables with expectation EXi = 0 and variance ...
متن کاملSOME PROBABILISTIC INEQUALITIES FOR FUZZY RANDOM VARIABLES
In this paper, the concepts of positive dependence and linearlypositive quadrant dependence are introduced for fuzzy random variables. Also,an inequality is obtained for partial sums of linearly positive quadrant depen-dent fuzzy random variables. Moreover, a weak law of large numbers is estab-lished for linearly positive quadrant dependent fuzzy random variables. Weextend some well known inequ...
