Probability inequalities for END sequence and their applications

Some probability inequalities for extended negatively dependent (END) sequence are provided. Using the probability inequalities, we present some moment inequalities, especially the Rosenthal-type inequality for END sequence. At last, we study the asymptotic approximation of inverse moment for nonnegative END sequence with finite first moments, which generalizes and improves the corresponding results of Wu et al. [Stat. Probab. Lett. 79, 1366-1371 (2009)], Wang et al. [Stat. Probab. Lett. 80, 452-461 (2010)], and Sung [J. Inequal. Appl. 2010, Article ID 823767, 13pp. (2010). doi: 10.1155/2010/823767].
