A Hjek-Rnyi-type inequality for associated random variables was obtained by Prakasa Rao [Prakasa Rao, B.L.S., 2002. Hjek-Rnyi-type inequality for associated sequences. Statist. Probab. Lett. 57, 139-143]. Recently, Sung [Sung, H.S., 2008. A note on the Hjek-Rnyi inequality for associated random...

A new extension of the Borel-Cantelli Lemma was obtained by Xie [Xie, Y.Q., 2008. A bilateral inequality on the Borel-Cantelli Lemma. Statist. Probab. Lett. 78, 2052-2057], and an important bilateral inequality on the Borel-Cantelli Lemma was given. However, there are several mistakes in the...

We extend the Brunk-Prokhorov strong law of large numbers and obtain a strong growth rate for martingale differences. Some results for demimartingales are also given.

<Para ID="Par1">In this paper, some basic properties for negatively superadditive-dependent (NSD, in short) random variables are presented, such as the Rosenthal-type inequality and the Kolmogorov-type exponential inequality. Using these properties, we further study the complete convergence for weighted sums of...</para>

This paper examines the evaluation of trade liberalization’s effect on household dietary adjustments, following China’s WTO accession in 2001. There could be tremendous regional discrepancy in the extent of exposure to import tariff reductions resulting from trade liberalization in a large...

Purpose – This paper aims to determine whether domestic cotton support permitted by the current or potential World Trade Organization (WTO) rules would be sufficient to compensate the cost to China's cotton farmers if the sliding scale duty (SSD) on cotton imports is removed....
