Abstract
The m-widely orthant dependent (m-WOD) sequences are very weak dependent random variables. In the paper, the authors investigate the moving average processes, which is generated by m-WOD random variables. By using the tail cut technique and maximum moment inequality of the m-WOD random variables, moment complete convergence and complete convergence of the maximal partial sums for the moving average processes are obtained, the results generalize and improve some corresponding results of the existing literature.

0 Introduction
In many statistical models, it is unrealistic to assume that random variables are independent, so many scholars have extended the independent random variables to dependent random variables, for example, negatively associated (NA) random variables, negatively orthant dependent (NOD) random variables, and extend negatively dependent (END) random variables and so on.
The widely orthant dependent (WOD) random variables sequences are very important dependent sequences, which was introduced by Wang et al[1].
Definition 1 The random variables are called to be widely upper orthant dependent (WUOD) random variables, if there exists a finite sequence of real numbers such that for each , ,
(1)
The random variables are called to be widely lower orthant dependent (WLOD) random variables, if there exists a finite sequence of real numbers such that for each ,
(2)
The random variables are called to be WOD random variables, if the random variables are both WUOD and WLOD, are called dominated coefficients.
Inspired by m-NA and WOD, the concept of m-WOD random variables was introduced by Fang et al[2], as follows:
Definition 2 For fix integer , the random variables is called to be m-WOD if for any , , such that for all , the also are WOD random variables.
From (1) and (2), we have . If , then WOD random variables are NOD random variables, which were introduced by Ebrahimi and Ghosh[3]. If , then WOD random variables are END random variables, which were introduced by Liu[4]. Liu[4] pointed out the END random variables imply NA and positive random variables, so m-WOD random variables include independent random variables, WOD, m-NA, m-NOD, m-END random variables and so on. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate complete convergence of the maximal partial sums for m-WOD random variables.
The real number sequences satisfy , the are called to be moving average process under random variables sequences , if
(3)
Since the moving average process was proposed,many results about convergence properties have been obtained. When is identically distributed, many results have been gained, for example[5-8]. Recently, some results have been obtained under the sequence are dependent. For example, Li et al[9] investigated the convergence properties under -mixing assumptions; Zhang[10] and Chen et al[11] established complete convergence under -mixing assumptions; Song and Zhu[12] got the complete convergence of moving average process based on -mixing assumptions; Tao et al[13] discussed the complete convergence under WOD random variables; Guan et al[14] obtained the complete moment convergence under m-WOD random variables.
In this paper, based on the research of Guan et al[14], we study the complete cmoment convergence of moving average processes based on m-WOD random variables, the results extend and improve the corresponding ones under WOD, m-NA, m-NOD, m-END random variables.
Definition 3 The random variables are called to be stochastically dominated by a random variable Y, if for any ,
where the constant , and denote
In this paper, denotes the indicator function of an event , The symbol represents a positive constant, which can take different values in different places, even in the same formula.
1 Some Lemmas and Main Results
Lemma 1 (Fang[2]) The sequence are m-WOD random variables, if the function are non-decreasing(non-increasing), then are also m-WOD random variables sequences with same dominating coefficients.
Lemma 2 (Fang[2]) The sequence are m-WOD random variables with dominating coefficients . For every , the and . Then, there exist positive constants depending only on and , such that
Lemma 3 (Fang[2]) The sequence are m-WOD random variables with dominating coefficients . For every , the and . Then, there exist positive constants depending only on and , such that
Lemma 4 (Wu[15]) Constant , , then there exist positive constants such that following inequalities are established:
Lemma 5 (Wu[16]) Let and be a sequence of random variable, for any , then
where if or if .
Now, we present the main results, the proofs for them will be postponed in next section.
Theorem 1 Let be a moving average process under the sequence of m-WOD random variables with dominating coefficients , , and for every . The real number satisfies . Then for some , and for . If

Theorem 2 Let be a moving average process under the sequence of m-WOD random variables with dominating coefficients , and for every . The real number satisfies . Then for some , and for . If
then

and
(7)
Remark 1 Theorem 1 and 2 obtain complete -order moment convergence and complete convergence of the maximum partial sums for the moving average process , so the results in the paper extend and improve the results in Guan et al[14] and Song et al[17].
Remark 2 We known the m-WOD random variables include WOD, m-NA, m-NOD, m-END random variables, and so on, so the results also hold for WOD, m-NA, m-NOD, m-END random variables. The is weaker than the condition of identical distribution for , therefore Theorem 1 and 2 improve the known results.
