Extract

A notion of ‘uniform ε-independence’ (u.ε.i.) is proposed for a sequence {Xn} successively indexed by random indices {τk}. The u.∊.i. property yields results other than those in the previous random indexing literature. Complementing the u.∊.i. property by suitable ‘approximation’ one recovers these previous results.
