A remark on the exponential inequality for negatively associated random variables. (English) Zbl 1293.60042
Summary: We give an exponential inequality for negatively associated random variables. The inequality improves the corresponding result which was obtained in [T.-S. Kim and H.-C. Kim, Commun. Korean Math. Soc. 22, No. 2, 315–321 (2007; Zbl 1168.60335)]. We also obtain the convergence rate $$n^{-1/2}(\log n)^{3/2}$$ for the strong law of large numbers, which improves the corresponding one obtained by the authors in the above-cited reference.
