Strong law of large numbers for pair-wise extended lower/upper negatively dependent random variables

Abstract

We establish some strong limit theorems for a sequence of pair-wise extended lower/upper negatively dependent random variables and give some new examples of dependent random variables.

Keywords

Extended negatively dependence / strong law of large numbers (SLLN) / weighted sums
