Complete qth moment convergence of weighted sums for arrays of rowwise negatively associated random variables

In this paper, the complete qth moment convergence of weighted sums for arrays of rowwise negatively associated (NA) random variables is investigated. By using moment inequality and truncation methods, some general results on complete qth moment convergence of weighted sums for arrays of rowwise NA random variables are obtained. As their applications, we not only generalize and extend the corresponding results of Baek et al. [On the complete convergence of weighted sums for arrays of negatively associated variables, J. Korean Stat. Soc. 37 (2008), pp. 73-80], Liang [Complete convergence for weighted sums of negatively associated random variables, Stat. Probab. Lett. 48 (2000), pp. 317-325 and Liang et al. [Complete moment convergence for sums of negatively associated random variables, Acta Math. Sin. English Ser. 26 (2010), pp. 419-432], but also greatly simplify their proofs.
