Probab. 28 (2000) 1908-1924]. Comparisons with similar results for sums of multi-indexed i.i.d. random variables are also made.Published at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/009117904000001080 in the Annals of Probability (http://www.imstat.org/aop/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org)Probability60F15 (Primary) 60E15.
