We investigate the moving average process such that X n i1 Y in, n 1, where i1 < and {Y i, 1 i < } is a sequence of asymptotically almost negatively associated AANA random variables. The complete convergence, complete moment convergence, and the existence of the moment of supermum of normed partial sums are presented for this moving average process. 1. Introduction We assume that {Y i, <i< } is a doubly infinite sequence of identically distributed random variables with E Y 1 <.Let{, <i< } be an absolutely summable sequence of real numbers and X n Y in, n 1 1.1 i be the moving average process based on the sequence {Y i, < i < }. As usual, S n n X,n 1 denotes the sequence of partial sums. Under the assumption that {Y i, <i< } is a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables, various results of the moving average process {X n,n 1} have been obtained. For example, Ibragimov 1 established the central limit theorem, Burton and Dehling 2 obtained a large deviation principle, and Li et al. 3 gave the complete convergence result for {X n,n 1}.

2 Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society Many authors extended the complete convergence of moving average process to the case of dependent sequences, for example, Zhang 4 for ϕ-mixing sequence, Li and Zhang 5 for NA sequence. The following Theorems A and B are due to Zhang 4 and Kim et al. 6, respectively. Theorem A. Suppose that {Y i, < i < } is a sequence of identically distributed ϕ-mixing random variables with ϕ1/2 m < and {X n,n 1} is as in 1.1.Lethx > 0 x >0 be a slowly varying function and 1 p<2, r 1. IfY 1 0 and E Y 1 rp h Y 1 p <,then n r 2 hnp S n εn 1/p <, ε >0. 1.2 Theorem B. Suppose that {Y i, < i < } is a sequence of identically distributed ϕ-mixing random variables with EY 1 0, EY 2 1 < and ϕ1/2 m < and {X n, n 1} is as in 1.1. Let hx > 0 x >0 be a slowly varying function and 1 p<2, r>1.ife Y 1 rp h Y 1 p <,then where x max{x, 0}. n r 2 1/p hne S n εn 1/p <, ε >0, 1.3 Chen and Gan 7 investigated the moments of maximum of normed partial sums of ρ-mixing random variables and gave the following result. Theorem C. Let 0 <r<2and p>0. Assume that {X n,n 1} is a mean zero sequence of identically distributed ρ-mixing random variables with the maximal correlation coefficient rate ρ2/s 2 n <,wheres 2 if p<2and s>pif p 2. Denote S n n i1 X i,n 1. Then E X 1 r <, if p < r, E X 1 r log1 X 1 ] <, if p r, E X 1 p <, if p > r, E sup X n 1.4 p <, n 1 n 1 n 1/r E sup S n p < n 1/r are all equivalent. Chen et al. 8 and Zhou 9 also studied limit behavior of moving average process under ϕ-mixing assumption. For more related details of complete convergence, one can refer to Hsu and Robbins 10,Chow11,Shao12,Lietal.3, Zhang 4,LiandZhang5, Chen and Gan 7,Kimetal.6, Sung13 15, Chen and Li 16, Zhou and Lin 17, and so forth. Inspired by Zhang 4, Kimetal.6, Chen and Gan 7, Sung13 15, and other papers above, we investigate the limit behavior of moving average process under AANA

The main results can be seen in Section 2 and their proofs are given in Section 3. Recall that the sequence {X n,n 1} is stochastically dominated by a nonnegative random variable X if sup P X n >t CPX >t for some positive constant C and t 0. 1.5 n 1 Definition 1.1. A finite collection of random variables X 1,X 2,...,X n is said to be negatively associated NA if for every pair of disjoint subsets A 1,A 2 of {1, 2,...,n}, Cov { fx i : i A 1, g X j : j A 2 } 0, 1.6 whenever f and g are coordinatewise nondecreasing such that this covariance exists. An infinite sequence {X n,n 1} is NA if every finite subcollection is NA. Definition 1.2. A sequence {X n, n 1} of random variables is called asymptotically almost negatively associated AANA if there exists a nonnegative sequence qn 0asn such that Cov fx n,gx,x n2,...,x n qn Var fx n Var gx,x n2,...,x n ] 1/2, 1.7 for all n, 1 and for all coordinate-wise nondecreasing continuous functions f and g whenever the variances exist. The concept of NA sequence was introduced by Joag-Dev and Proschan 18. For the basic properties and inequalities of NA sequence, one can refer to Joag-Dev and Proschan 18 and Matula 19. The family of AANA sequence contains NA in particular, independent sequence with qn 0, n 1 and some more sequences of random variables which are not much deviated from being negatively associated. An example of an AANA which is not NA was constructed by Chandra and Ghosal 20, 21. For various results and applications of AANA random variables can be found in Chandra Ghosal 21, Wangetal.22, Koetal. 23, Yuan and An 24, and Wang et al. 25, 26 among others. For simplicity, in this paper we consider the moving average process: X n Y in, n 1, 1.8 i1 where i1 < and {Y i, 1 i< } is a mean zero sequence of AANA random variables. The following lemmas are our basic techniques to prove our results. Lemma 1.3. Let {X n,n 1} be a sequence of AANA random variables with mixing coefficients {qn, n 1}. Iff 1,f 2,... are all nondecreasing or nonincreasing continuous functions, then {f n X n,n 1} is still a sequence of AANA random variables with mixing coefficients {qn, n 1}.

Lemma 1.3 comes from Lemma 2.1 of Yuan and An 24, but the functions of f 1,f 2,... in Lemma 2.1 of Yuan and An 24 are written to be all nondecreasing or nonincreasing functions. According to the definition of AANA, f 1,f 2,... should be all nondecreasing or nonincreasing continuous functions. Lemma 1.5 cf. Wang et al. 25, Lemma 1.4. Let 1 <p 2and {X n,n 1} be a mean zero sequence of AANA random variables with mixing coefficients {qn, n 1}.If q2 n <,then there exists a positive constant C p depending only on p such that p n E max X i C p E X i p, i1 i1 1.9 for all n 1, wherec p 2 p 2 2 p 6p p q2 n p 1. Lemma 1.6 cf. Wu 27, Lemma 4.1.6. Let {X n,n 1} be a sequence of random variables, which is stochastically dominated by a nonnegative random variable X. For any α > 0 and b > 0, the following two statements hold: E X n α I X n b ] C 1 {EX α IX b b α PX >b}, E X n α I X n >b ] C 2 EX α IX >b, 1.10 where C 1 and C 2 are positive constants. Throughout the paper, IA is the indicator function of set A, x max{x, 0} and C, C 1,C 2,... denote some positive constants not depending on n, which may be different in various places. 2. The Main Results Theorem 2.1. Let r>1, 1 p<2 and rp < 2. Assume that {X n,n 1} is a moving average process defined in 1.8, where{y i, 1 i< } is a mean zero sequence of AANA random variables with q2 n < and stochastically dominated by a nonnegative random variable Y.IfEY rp <,then for every ε>0, n r 2 P max S >εn 1/p <, 2.1 n r 2 P sup S >ε <. 2.2 n 1/p

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society 5 Theorem 2.2. Let the conditions of Theorem 2.1 hold. Then for every ε>0, n r 2 1/p E max S εn 1/p <, 2.3 n r 2 E sup S ε <. n 1/p 2.4 Theorem 2.3. Let 0 <r<2 and 0 <p<2. Assume that {X n,n 1} is a moving average process defined in 1.8, where{y i, 1 i< } is a mean zero sequence of AANA random variables with q2 n < and stochastically dominated by a nonnegative random variable Y with EY <. Suppose that for p < r, for p r, for p > r, E Y log1 Y ] <, if r 1, EY r <, if r > 1, E Y log1 Y ] <, if 0 <r<1, ] E Ylog 2 1 Y <, if r 1, E Y r log1 Y ] <, if r > 1, E Y log1 Y ] <, if p 1, EY p <, ifp > 1. 2.5 Then E sup S n n 1 n 1/r p <. 2.6 3. The Proofs of Main Results Proof of Theorem 2.1. Firstly, we show that the moving average process 1.8 converges almost surely under the conditions of Theorem 2.1. Since rp > 1, it has EY <, following from the condition EY rp <. On the other hand, by Lemma 1.6 with α 1andb 1, one has E Y i 1 C 2 EYIY >1 1 C 2 EY <, 1 i<. 3.1 Consequently, by the condition i1 <, we have that E Y in C 3 <, 3.2 i1 i1 which implies i1 Y in converges almost surely.

Remar 3.1. Zhou and Lin 17 obtained the result 2.6 for partial sums of moving average process under ϕ-mixing sequence. But there is one problem in their proof. On page 694 of Zhou and Lin 17, they presented that C 2 m m/r E Y 1 I Y 1 > 2 m/r], if p<r, I 1 C m2 m m/r E Y 1 I Y 1 > 2 m/r], if p r, C 2 mp/r m/r E Y 1 I Y 1 > 2 m/r], if p>r, CE Y 1 r <, if p<r, CE Y 1 r log1 Y 1 ] <, if p r, CE Y 1 p <, if p>r, 3.43 where 1 r<2andp>0. For the case p<r, by taing r 1, we cannot get that 2 m m/r E Y 1 I Y 1 > 2 m/r] E Y 1 I Y 1 > 2 m CE Y 1 <. 3.44
