Randomized Generalized Laws of the Iterated Logarithm

From MaRDI portal





The author shows the robustness of the generalized laws of the iterated logarithm by using random weights. Klass and Teicher established these types of laws for random variables whose first moment either barely existed or barely failed to exist. In the author's previous result this was extended to constant coefficients of the form \(k^{\alpha}\) whenever \(\alpha>-1\). If \(\alpha=-1,\) then strong laws actually exist. The author examines the infinite mean case with random weights, where first \(\alpha\) is a uniformly distributed continuous random variable. And he goes a bit further by setting our weights equal to \(k^{\alpha}(\log k)^{U_{k}}\), where \(\{U_{k}, k\geq 1\}\) are the random variables considered in this paper and \(\alpha > -1.\) The sequence \(\{X, X_{n}, n\geq 1\}\) are independent and identically distributed random variables with common density \(f_{X}(x)=c(\log x)^{\lambda}x^{-2}I(x>1),\) where \(\lambda > -1.\) The sequence of coefficients \(\{a_{n, n\geq 1}\}\) will be based on a random variable \(U,\) whose sequence \(\{U_{n}, n\geq 1\}\) is independent of the sequence \(\{X_{n}, n \geq 1\}.\) The author establishes limit theorems for weighted sums of the form \(\sum^{n}_{k=1}a_{k}X_{k},\) where \(a_{k}=k^{U_{k}}\) or \(a_{k}=k^{\alpha}(\log k)^{U_{k}}.\)
