Abstract

Using exponential inequalities, Wu et al. (2009) and Wang et al. (2010) obtained asymptotic approximations of inverse moments for nonnegative independent random variables and nonnegative negatively orthant dependent random variables, respectively. In this paper, we improve and extend their results to nonnegative random variables satisfying a Rosenthal-type inequality.

Highlights

  • Let {Zn, n ≥ 1} be a sequence of nonnegative random variables with finite second moments

  • Under suitable conditions, the inverse moment can be approximated by the inverse of the moment

  • The left-hand side of 1.2 is the inverse moment and the right-hand side is the inverse of the moment
