Abstract

In this paper we derive the almost sure convergence of weighted sums of 2-dimensional arrays of random variables which are either pairwise positive quadrant dependent or associated. Our re-sults imply and extension of Etemadi's(1983) strong laws of large numbers for weighted sums of nonnegative random variables to the 2-dimensional case.
