Extract

Let Kr denote the set of r-tuples n = (n1n2, …, nr) with positive integers as coordinates (r ≥ 1) and {X, Xn, n ε Kr} be a family of independent, identically distributed random variables with positive mean 0 < EX ≡ μ < ∞ and finite positive variance 0 < var X ≡ σ2 ∞. The notation m ≤ n, where m = (mi) and n = (ni), means that mi ≤ ni (i = 1, 2,…, r) and |n| = n1n2 … nr. Denote Sn =Σj ≤ nXj (j, n ε Kr). When r = 1, {Xn, n ε Kr) reduces to the sequence {Xj, j ε 1} of independent random variables each distributed as X, and Sn becomes the ordinary partial sum .
