in a celebrated work by shao [13] several inequalities for negatively associated random variables were proved. in this paper we obtain some maximal inequalities for associated random variables. also we establish a maximal inequality for demimartingales which generalizes and improves the result of christofides [4].

In the absolutely continuous case, order statistics, record values and several other models of ordered random variables can be viewed as special cases of generalized order statistics, which enables a unified treatment of their theory. This paper deals with discontinuous generalized order statistics, continuing on the recent work of Tran (2006). Specifically, we show that in general neither re...

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...

A new algorithm for generating two positively correlated Beta-distributed random variables with known marginal distributions and a speci*ed correlation is provided. The paired Betadistributed random variables are generated from ratios of independent standard Gamma distributions. A positive correlation is achieved by introducing two shared standard Gamma distributed random variables. Parameters ...
