Abstract.   The authors discuss the strong convergence for weighted sums of sequences of ρ*-mixing random variables. The obtained results extend and improve the corresponding theorem of Bai and Cheng [Bai, Z. D., Cheng, P. E., 2000. Marcinkiewicz strong laws for linear statistics. Statist. Probab. Lett., 46, 105-112]. The method used in this article differs from that of Bai and Cheng (2000).

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.   60F15.

Key words and phrases.   Strong convergence, ρ*-mixing random variable, weighted sums.
