Let {Xi, i[greater-or-equal, slanted]1} be a sequence of m-dependent stationary standard Gaussian random variables and some positive constants. In this note we generalise results of Raab (Extremes 1(3) (1999) 29.), who considered compound Poisson approximation for Wn=[summation...

Let (X,Y) be a bivariate elliptical random vector with associated random radius in the Gumbel max-domain of attraction. In this paper we obtain a second order asymptotic expansion of the joint survival probability and the conditional probability , for x,y large.

Given a Brownian bridge B0 with trend g:[0,1]--[0,[infinity]), Y(z)=g(z)+B0(z),z[set membership, variant][0,1],we are interested in testing H0:g[reverse not equivalent]0 against the alternative K:g0. For this test problem we study weighted Kolmogorov testswhere c0 is a suitable constant and...

Let {Xn, n[greater-or-equal, slanted]1} be a centered FGM random sequence and put . Motivated by the dependence structure of FGM distributions (see, e.g. Johnson and Kotz, Comm. Statist. 4 (1977) 415) we derive almost sure and max-limit almost sure convergence for and Mn, respectively.

Let , be a triangular array of independent elliptical random vectors in . In this paper we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the multivariate maxima of this triangular array. Generalising previous results for the bivariate set-up, we show that the normalised maxima of this elliptical...

Let be a triangular array of independent bivariate elliptical random vectors. Hüsler and Reiss (1989. Statist. Probab. Lett. 7, 283-286) show that for the particular case that the array is Gaussian, the maxima of this array is in the max-domain of attraction of Hüsler-Reiss distribution...
