This book gives a comprehensive review of results for associated sequences and
demimartingales developed so far, with special emphasis on demimartingales and related …

This volume is devoted to the study of asymptotic properties of wide classes of stochastic
systems arising in mathematical statistics, percolation theory, statistical physics and …

Consider a random field of real-valued random variables with finite second moment and
subject to covariance invariance and finite susceptibility. Under the basic assumption of …

The book concerns the notion of association in probability and statistics. Association and
some other positive dependence notions were introduced in 1966 and 1967 but received …

The concept of association of random variables was introduced by Esary et al.(1967). In
several situations, for example, in reliability and survival analysis, the random variables of …

In this paper, we study the weak convergence to an appropriate Gaussian process of the
empirical process of the block-based bootstrap estimator proposed by Künsch for stationary …

Let {X n, n≥ 1} be a strictly stationary sequence of associated random variables defined on
a probability space (Ω, B, P) with probability density function f (x) and failure rate function r …

Consider a long term study, where a series of possibly censored failure times is observed.
Suppose the failure times have a common marginal distribution functionF, but they exhibit a …

Under mild conditions, a Bernstein–Hoeffding-type inequality is established for covariance
invariant positively associated random variables. A condition is given for almost sure …

Let {X n; n≥ 1} be a sequence of stationary associated random variables having a common
marginal density function f (x). Let, be a sequence of Borel-measurable functions defined on …
