Abstract

Considering a double-indexed array (Yn,i:n≥1 i ≥ 1 of non-negative regularly varying random variables, we study the random-length weighted sums and maxima from its 'row' sequences. These sums and maxima may have the same tail and extremal indices (Markovich and Rodionov 2020). The main constraints of the latter results are that there exists a unique series in a scheme of series with the minimum tail index and the tail of the term number is lighter than the tail of the terms. Here, a bounded random number of series are allowed to have the minimum tail index and the tail of the term number may be heavier than the tail of the terms. We derive the tail and extremal indices of the weighted non-stationary random-length sequences under a broader set of conditions than in Markovich and Rodionov (2020). We provide examples of random sequences for which the assumptions are valid. Perspectives in adopting the results in different application areas are formulated.
