摘要
We compare three dependence coefficients expressed in terms of conditional expectations, and we study their behaviour in various situations. Next, we give a new covariance inequality involving the weakest of those coefficients, and we compare this bound to that obtained by Rio (Ann. Inst. H. Poincare Probab. Statist. 29 (1993) 587-597) in the strongly mixing case. This new inequality is used to derive sharp limit theorems, such as Donsker's invariance principle and Marcinkiewicz's strong law. As a consequence of a Burkholder-type inequality, we obtain a deviation inequality for partial sums. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
