Abstract  

Let X1,X2, ... be iid random variables, and let an = (a1,n, ..., an,n) be an arbitrary sequence of weights. We investigate the asymptotic distribution of the linear combination

On the rate of convergence of the St. Petersburg game

Periodica Mathematica Hungarica
Volume/Issue:
Volume 62: Issue 1
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.1007/s10998-011-5013-3
Authors: László Györfi and Péter Kevei

Abstract  

We investigate the repeated and sequential portfolio St. Petersburg games. For the repeated St. Petersburg game, we show an upper bound on the tail distribution, which implies a strong law for a truncation. Moreover, we consider the problem of limit distribution. For the sequential portfolio St. Petersburg game, we obtain tight asymptotic results for the growth rate of the game.
