    Abstract

    We study lower limits for the ratio F*τ̄(x)/ F̄(x) of tail distributions, where F*τ is a distribution of a sum of a random size τ of independent identically distributed random variables having a common distribution F, and a random variable τ does not depend on the summands. © 2008 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
