Abstract:
In this paper, we give a Breiman's theorem for a conditional dependent random vector, where one component has a regularly varying tailed distribution with the index $\alpha\ge0$, while the other component is nonnegative with a more relaxed moment condition. This result substantially extends and improves some existing related results, such as Theorem 2.1 of Yang and Wang
[Extremes, 16 (2013), pp. 55–74].
We also provide some concrete examples, some interesting properties, and a construction method of a conditional dependent random vector. Finally, we apply the above Breiman's theorem to risk theory and obtain two asymptotic estimates of the finite-time ruin probability and the infinite-time ruin probability of a discrete-time risk model, in which the corresponding net loss and random discount are conditionally dependent.
