Abstract

In this paper we study the strong law of large numbers for weighted average of pairwise negatively quadrant dependent random variables. This result extends that of Jamison et al.(Convergence of weight averages of independent random variables Z. Wahrsch. Verw Gebiete(1965) 4 40-44) to the negative quadrant dependence.
