On complete moment convergence of weighted sums for arrays of row-wise negatively associated random variables

Abstract

Negatively associated (NA) random variables are a more general class of random variables which include a set of independent random variables and have been applied to many practical fields. In this paper, the complete moment convergence of weighted sums for arrays of row-wise NA random variables is investigated. Some sufficient conditions for complete moment convergence of weighted sums for arrays of row-wise NA random variables are established. Moreover, under the weaker conditions, we extend the results of Baek et al. [J. Korean Stat. Soc. 37 (2008), pp. 73–80] and Sung [Abstr. Appl. Anal. 2011 (2011)]. As an application, the complete moment convergence of moving average processes based on an NA random sequence is obtained, which improves the result of Li and Zhang [Stat. Probab. Lett. 70 (2004), pp. 191–197 ].
