Abstract

It is well-known that the complete convergence theorem for i.i.d. random vari-ables has been an active topic since the famous work done by Hsu and Robbins [6]. Chow [4]obtained a moment version of Hsu and Robbins series. However, the series tends to infinity whenever ε  goes to zero, so it is of interest to investigate the asymptotic behavior of the series
as ε goes to zero. This note gives some limit theorems of the series generated by moments for NA random variables.
