  • The rate of convergence to a random variable S for an almost certainly convergent series $S_n = \sum^n_{j=1} X_j$ of independent random variables is studied in this paper. More specifically, when $S_n$ converges to S almost certainly, the tail series $T_n = \sum^{\infty}_{j=n} X_j$ is a well-defined sequence of random variable with $T_n \to 0$ a.c. Various sets of conditions are provided so that for a given numerical sequence $0 < b_n = o(1)$, the tail series strong law of large numbers $b^{-1}_n T_n \to 0$ a.c. holds. Moreover, these results are specialized to the case of the weighted i.i.d. random varialbes. Finally, example are provided and an open problem is posed.

  • A local limit theorem for large deviations for the i.i.d. random variables was given by Richter (1957), who used the saddle point method of complex variables to prove it. In this paper we give an alternative form of local limit theorem for large deviations for the i.i.d. random variables which is essentially equivalent to that of Richter. We prove the theorem by more direct and heuristic method under a rather simple condition on the moment generating function (m.g.f.). The theorem is proved without assuming that $E(X_i)=0$.

  • Let (X, $X_{n}$, n$\geq$1) be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables and { $a_{ni}$ , 1$\leq$i$\leq$n, n$\geq$1} be an array of constants. Let ø($\chi$) be a positive increasing function on (0, $\infty$) satisfying ø($\chi$) ↑ $\infty$ and ø(C$\chi$) = O(ø($\chi$)) for any C > 0. When EX = 0 and E[ø(|X|)]〈$\infty$, some conditions on ø and { $a_{ni}$ } are given under which (equation omitted).).

  • Let {$X_i$, $1{\leq}i{\leq}n$} be a sequence of i.i.d. sequence of positive random variables with common absolutely continuous cumulative distribution function F(x) and probability density function f(x) and $E(X^2)$ < ${\infty}$. The random variables X + Y and $\frac{(X-Y)^2}{(X+Y)^2}$ are independent if and only if X and Y have gamma distributions. In addition, the random variables $S_n$ and $\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{m}(X_i)^2}{(S_n)^2}$ with $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_i$ are independent for $1{\leq}m$ < n if and only if $X_i$ has gamma distribution for $i=1,{\cdots},n$.

  • Let {$Y_i$,-$\infty$ < i < $\infty$} be a doubly infinite sequence of i.i.d. random variables with E|$Y_1$| < $\infty$, {$a_{ni}$,-$\infty$ < i < $\infty$ n $\geq$ 1} an array of real numbers. Under some conditions on {$a_{ni}$}, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for $\sum\;_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n}P(|\sum\;_{i=-\infty}^{\infty}a_{ni}(Y_i-EY_i)|$>$n{\epsilon})$<{\infty}$. We examine whether the result of Spitzer [11] holds for the moving average process, and give a partial solution.

  • Let ${X, X_n, n \geq 1}$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed(i.i.d) random variables with EX = 0 and $E$\mid$X$\mid$^p < \infty$ for some $p \geq 1$. Let ${a_{ni}, 1 \leq i \leq n, n \geq 1}$ be a triangular arrary of constants. The almost sure(a.s) convergence of weighted sums $\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_{ni}X_i$ can be founded in Choi and Sung[1], Chow[2], Chow and Lai[3], Li et al. [4], Stout[6], Sung[8], Teicher[9], and Thrum[10].

  • Let {$X,\;X_n;n{\geq}1$} be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. Set $S_n=X_1+X_2+{\cdots}+X_n,\;M_n=\max_{k{\leq}n}|S_k|,\;n{\geq}1$.
