  • Some conditions on the strong law of large numbers for weighted sums of negative quadrant dependent random variables are studied. The almost sure convergence of weighted sums of negatively associated random variables is also established, and then it is utilized to obtain strong laws of large numbers for weighted averages of negatively associated random variables.

  • By using the weighted averaging techniques, we establish oscillation criteria for the second order damped quasilinear elliptic differential equation $$\sum_{i,j=1}^{N}D_i(a_{ij}(x){\parallel}Dy{\parallel}^{p-2}D_jy)+{\langle}b(x),\;{\parallel}Dy{\parallel}^{p-2}Dy{\rangle}+c(x)f(y)=0,\;p>1$$. The obtained theorems include and improve some existing ones for the undamped halflinear partial differential equation and the semilinear elliptic equation.

  • 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.

  • We derive the strong laws of large numbers for weighted averages of partial sums of random variables which are either associated or negatively associated. Our theorems extend and generalize strong law of large numbers for weighted sums of associated and negatively associated random variables of Matula(1996; Probab. Math. Statist. 16) and some results in Birkel(1989; Statist. Probab. Lett. 7) and Matula (1992; Statist. Probab. Lett. 15 ).

  • The null hypothesis being tested by $the{\bar{X}}$ control chart is that the process is in control at a quality level ${\mu}o$. An ${\bar{X}}control$ chart is a tool for detecting process average changes due to assingnable causes. The major weakness of $the{\bar{X}}$ control chart is that it is relatively insensitive to small changes in the population mean. This paper presents one way to remedy this weakness is to allow each plotted value to depend not only on the most recent subgroup average but on some of the other subgroup averages as well. Two approaches for doing this are based on (1) moving averages and (2) exponentially weighted moving averages of forecasting method.

  • We derive the almost sure convergence for weighted sums of random variables which are either pairwise positive quadrant dependent or pairwise positive quadrant dependent or pairwise negative quadrant dependent and then apply this result to obtain the almost sure convergence of weighted averages. e also extend some results on the strong law of large numbers for pairwise independent identically distributed random variables established in Petrov to the weighted sums of pairwise negative quadrant dependent random variables.

  • This study aims to suggest the methodology to improve to estimate back-calculated fish growth parameters using weighted average. It is to contribute to correct errors in the calculation of back-calculated growth equation with unequal numbers of sample by age. If the numbers of sample were evenly collected by age, each back-calculated length at age was equal between arithmetic and weighted averages. However, most samples cannot be evenly collected by age in reality because of different catchability by fishing gear and limitation of environment condition. Therefore, the estimation of back-calculated length by weighted average method is essential to calculate growth parameters. There were some published growth equations from back-calculated length using a simple arithmetic average with different numbers of samples by age when searching for back-calculated growth equations from 91 relevant papers. In this study, the process of deriving growth equation was investigated and two different average calculations were applied to a fish growth equation, for example of Acheilognathus signifer. Growth parameters, such as $L_{\infty}$, k and $t_0$, were estimated from two different back-calculated averages and the growth equations were compared with growth performance index. Based on the correction of back-calculated length using weighted average by age, the changes by female and male were -14.19% and -5.23% for $L_{\infty}$, and 59.28% and 18.91% for k, respectively. The corrected growth performance index by weighted average improved at 7.05% and 2.46% by female and male, respectively, compared to the arithmetic averages.

  • In this paper, we present some results on weak laws of large numbers for weighted sums of fuzzy random variables taking values in the space of normal and upper-semicontinuous fuzzy sets with compact support in a separable real Banach space. First, we give weak laws of large numbers for weighted sums of strong-compactly uniformly integrable fuzzy random variables. Then, we consider the case that the weighted averages of expectations of fuzzy random variables converge. Finally, weak laws of large numbers for weighted sums of strongly tight or identically distributed fuzzy random variables are obtained as corollaries.
