The law of the iterated logarithm for positively dependent random variables ✩

The Levy’s type maximal inequality is a key to establish the law of the iterated logarithm for associated random variables. Unfortunately, this type inequality cannot be obtained for a generalization of association, i.e., linear positive quadrant dependence, because of their special dependence structure. The purpose of this paper is to provide a different approach to obtain a law of the iterated logarithm for a sequence of linear positive quadrant dependent random variables. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.
