Complete convergence for arrays of rowwise asymptotically almost negatively associated random variables. (English) Zbl 1235.60026
Summary: Let $$\{X_{ni}, i \geq 1, n \geq 1\}$$ be an array of rowwise asymptotically almost negatively associated random variables. Sufficient conditions for complete convergence for arrays of rowwise asymptotically almost negatively associated random variables are presented without the assumption of identical distribution. As an application, a Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type strong law of large numbers for weighted sums of asymptotically almost negatively associated random variables is obtained.
