  • Extensions of the Kolmogorov convergence criterion and the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities from independent random variables to conditional independent ones are derived. As their applications, a conditional version of the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund strong law of large numbers and a result on convergence in $L^p$ for conditionally independent and conditionally identically distributed random variables are established, respectively.

  • From the ordinary notion of uniformly strong mixing for a sequence of random variables, a new concept called conditionally uniformly strong mixing is proposed and the relation between uniformly strong mixing and conditionally uniformly strong mixing is answered by examples, that is, uniformly strong mixing neither implies nor is implied by conditionally uniformly strong mixing. A couple of equivalent definitions and some of basic properties of conditionally uniformly strong mixing random variables are derived, and several conditional covariance inequalities are obtained. By means of these properties and conditional covariance inequalities, a conditional central limit theorem stated in terms of conditional characteristic functions is established, which is a conditional version of the earlier result under the non-conditional case.

  • The Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund strong law of large numbers for conditionally independent and conditionally identically distributed random variables is an existing, but merely qualitative result. In this paper, for the more general cases where the conditional order of moment belongs to (0, ${\infty}$) instead of (0, 2), we derive results on convergence rates which are quantitative ones in the sense that they tell us how fast convergence is obtained. Furthermore, some conditional probability inequalities are of independent interest.

  • A conditional version of the classical central limit theorem is derived rigorously by using conditional characteristic functions, and a more general version of conditional central limit theorem for the case of conditionally independent but not necessarily conditionally identically distributed random variables is established. These are done anticipating that the field of conditional limit theory will prove to be of significant applicability.

  • In this paper, we establish some conditional versions of the first part of the Borel-Cantelli lemma. As its applications, we study strong limit results of $\mathfrak{F}$-independent random variables sequences, the convergence of sums of $\mathfrak{F}$-independent random variables and the conditional version of strong limit results of the concomitants of order statistics.

  • Let {${\Omega}$, $\mathcal{F}$, P} be a probability space and {$X_n{\mid}n{\geq}1$} be a sequence of random variables defined on it. A finite sequence of random variables {$X_i{\mid}1{\leq}i{\leq}n$} is a conditional associated given $\mathcal{F}$ if for any coordinate-wise nondecreasing functions f and g defined on $R^n$, $Cov^{\mathcal{F}}$ (f($X_1$, ${\ldots}$, $X_n$), g($X_1$, ${\ldots}$, $X_n$)) ${\geq}$ 0 a.s. whenever the conditional covariance exists. We obtain the H$\grave{a}$jek-R$\grave{e}$nyi-type inequality for conditional associated random variables. In addition, we establish the strong law of large numbers, the three series theorem, integrability of supremum, and a strong growth rate for $\mathcal{F}$-associated random variables.

  • We describe our method to predict the direction of conditional probabilistic dependencies between clusters of random variables. Selected variables called 'gateway variables' are used to predict the conditional probabilistic dependency relations between clusters. The direction of conditional probabilistic dependencies between clusters are predicted by finding directed acyclic graph (DAG)-shaped dependency structure between the gateway variables. We show that our method shows meaningful prediction results in determining directions of conditional probabilistic dependencies between clusters.

  • Let C(Q) denote Yeh-Wiener space, the space of all real-valued continuous functions x(s, t) on Q ≡ [0, S] × [0, T] with x(s, 0) = x(0, t) = 0 for every (s, t) ∈ Q. For each partition τ = τm,n = {(si, tj)|i = 1, . . . , m, j = 1, . . . , n} of Q with 0 = s0 < s1 < . . . < sm = S and 0 = t0 < t1 < . . . < tn = T, define a random vector Xτ : C(Q) → ℝmn by Xτ (x) = (x(s1, t1), . . . , x(sm, tn)). In this paper we study the conditional integral transform and the conditional convolution product for a class of cylinder type functionals defined on K(Q) with a given conditioning function Xτ above, where K(Q)is the space of all complex valued continuous functions of two variables on Q which satify x(s, 0) = x(0, t) = 0 for every (s, t) ∈ Q. In particular we derive a useful equation which allows to calculate the conditional integral transform of the conditional convolution product without ever actually calculating convolution product or conditional convolution product.

  • A Korean syllable is regarded as a random variable according to its probabilistic property in occurrence. A Korean syllable is divided into a 'choseong', a 'jungseong', and a 'jongseong' which are regarded as random variables. From the cumulative freaquency of a Korean syllable all possible joint probabilities and conditional probabilities are computed for the three ramdom variables. From the joint probabilities and the conditional probabilities all possible joint entropies and conditional entropies are computed for the three random varibles. Also all possible average mutual informations are calculated for the three random variables. Average mutual informatin between two random variables hss its biggest value between choseong and jungseong. Average mutual information between a random variable and other two random variables has its biggest value between jungseong and choseong-jongseong.

  • From the ordinary notion of upper-tail quantitle function, a new concept called conditionally upper-tail quantitle function given a σ-algebra is proposed. Some basic properties of this terminology and further properties of conditionally strictly stationary sequences are derived. By means of these properties, several conditional central limit theorems for a sequence of conditionally strong mixing and conditionally strictly stationary random variables are established, some of which are the conditional versions corresponding to earlier results under non-conditional case.
