Some results for $U$-statistics and strong demimartingales

Abstract

In this paper, we obtain a result that a $U$-statistic $U_n$ based on associated random variables and a kernel $k(x_1,\ldots,x_m)$ which is a bounded variance function can be written as the difference of two strong demimartingales. Moreover, we establish Chow type minimal inequalities for strong demimartingales and obtain Marshall type minimal inequalities as well as a Value-at-Risk bound for ($\mathop{\min}_{1\leq k \leq n}S_k$).

Keywords: Minimal inequality, $U$-statistic, strong demimartingales, associated random variables
