Abstract
Integral tests are found for the convergence of two Spitzer-type series associated with a class of weighted averages introduced by Jajte [On the strong law of large numbers, Ann. Probab., 31(1):409–412, 2003]. Our main theorems are valid for a large family of dependent random variables that are not necessarily identically distributed. As a byproduct, we improve the Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund strong law of large numbers for asymptotically almost negatively associated sequences due to Chandra and Ghosal [Extensions of the strong law of large numbers of Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund for dependent variables Acta Math. Hung., 71(4):327–336, 1996]. We also complement two limit theorems recently derived by Anh et al. [TheMarcinkiewicz–Zygmund-type strong law of large numbers with general normalizing sequences, J. Theor. Probab., 34(1):331–348, 2021] and Thành [On a new concept of stochastic domination and the laws of large numbers, Test, 32(1):74–106, 2023]. The obtained results are new even when the summands are independent.
摘要 对与 Jajte [《论强大数定律》,Ann. Probab.,31(1):409-412, 2003] 引入的一类加权平均数相关的两个 Spitzer 型数列的收敛性进行了积分检验。我们的主要定理适用于不一定是同分布的一大系列因变量。作为副产品,我们改进了 Chandra 和 Ghosal [Extensions of the strong law of large numbers of Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund for dependent variables Acta Math.71(4):327-336, 1996].我们还补充了 Anh 等人最近推导的两个极限定理 [TheMarcinkiewicz-Zygmund-type strong law of large numbers with general normalizing sequences, J. Theor.Probab., 34(1):331-348, 2021] 和 Thành [On a new concept of stochastic domination and the laws of large numbers, Test, 32(1):74-106, 2023]。即使求和是独立的,所得到的结果也是新的。
