The strong law of large numbers for pairwise NQD random variables

In this paper, the almost sure convergence for pairwise negatively quadrant dependent random variables is studied. The strong law of large numbers for pairwise negatively quadrant dependent random variables is obtained. Our results generalize and improve those on almost sure convergence theorems previously obtained by Marcinkiewicz (1937), Jamison (1965), Matula (1992) and Wu (2001) from the independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) case to pairwise NQD sequences.
