Some limit theorems for negatively associated random variables. (English) Zbl 1308.60032
Summary: Let $$\{X_n: n\geq 1\}$$ be a sequence of negatively associated random variables. The aim of this paper is to establish some limit theorems for the negatively associated sequence, which include the $$L^p$$-convergence theorem and the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund strong law of large numbers. Furthermore, we consider the strong law of sums of order statistics, which are sampled from negatively associated random variables.
