Limit Theorems for Sums of Dependent and Non-Identical Bernoulli Random Variables

Abstract

SYNOPTIC ABSTRACT In this paper, a new class of dependent Bernoulli random variables is defined. Here the probability of success at a given trial is a function of the number of successes and probabilities of successes in the previous trials. The moment structure for this model is derived. Further, the strong law of large numbers, the central limit theorem and the law of iterated logarithm are established under a condition that the success probabilities be monotone. Simulations are carried out to demonstrate the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem.
