Abstract
When addressing various financial problems, such as estimating stock portfolio risk, it is necessary to derive the distribution of the sum of the dependent random variables. Although deriving this distribution requires identifying the joint distribution of these random variables, exact estimation of the joint distribution of dependent random variables is difficult. Therefore, in recent years, studies have been conducted on the bound of the sum of dependent random variables with dependence uncertainty. In this study, we obtain an improved Hoeffding inequality for dependent bounded variables. Further, we expand the above result to the case of sub-Gaussian random variables.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
