This paper studies the approximation of extreme quantiles of random sums of heavy-tailed random variables, or, more specifically, subexponential random variables. A key application of this ...
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for $P(\sum{_{n=1}^{\infty}}(A + S_{n})^{-1} < \infty) = 1$ in terms of E(∑n=1 ∞(A + Sn)-1), where Sn is the sum of n ...
We develop several applications to almost sure limit theorems for sums of independent vector valued random variables of an isoperimetric inequality due to Talagrand. A general treatment of the ...
