Abstract

This paper presents maximal inequalities and strong law of large numbers for weakly dependent heterogeneous random variables. Specifically considered are Lr mixingales for r > 1, strong mixing sequences, and near epoch dependent (NED) sequences. We provide the first strong law for Lr-bounded Lr mixingales and NED sequences for 1 > r > 2. The strong laws presented for α-mixing sequences are less restrictive than the laws of McLeish [8].
