\(S_\lambda\)-convergence of a sequence of random variables (Q2344528): Difference between revisions

A sequence \((\alpha_{k})\) of points in \(\mathbb{R}\) is \(\lambda\)-statistically convergent, or \(S_{\lambda}\)-convergent to a real number \(L\) if \[ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{\lambda_{n} }|\{k\in I_{n}: |\alpha_{k}-L| \geq\varepsilon\}|=0 \] for every positive real number \(\varepsilon\), where \((\lambda_{n})\) is a non-decreasing sequence of positive numbers tending to \(\infty\) such that \(\lambda_{n+1}\leq \lambda_{n} + 1\), \(\lambda_{1} = 1\), and \(I_{n} = [n - \lambda_{n}+1, n]\) [\textit{Mursaleen}, Math. Slovaca 50, No. 1, 111--115 (2000; Zbl 0953.40002)]. This is denoted by \(S_{\lambda}\)-\(\lim \alpha_{k}=L\). In probability theory, if for each positive integer \(n\), a random variable \(X_{n}\) is defined on a given event space \(S\), same for each \(n\), with respect to a given class of events \(M\) and a probability function \(P: M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) , then the sequence \((X_{1}, X_{2}, X_{3},\dots,X_{n},\dots)\) is called a sequence of random variables. In the paper under review, the author studies the notion of \(\lambda\)-statistical convergence in probability, in mean of order \(r\), and in distribution.
