We get the strong law of large numbers, strong growth rate, and the integrability of supremum for the partial sums of asymptotically almost negatively associated sequence. In addition, the complete convergence for weighted sums of asymptotically almost negatively associated sequences is also studied. 1. Introduction Definition 1.1. A finite collection of random variables X , X , . . . , X is said to be negatively 1 2 n associated NA if, for every pair of disjoint subsets A1, A2 of {1, 2, . . . , n }, Cov f Xi : i ∈ A1 , g Xj : j ∈ A2 ≤ 0, 1.1 whenever f and g are coordinate-wise nondecreasing such that this covariance exists. An infinite sequence {Xn, n ≥ 1} is NA if every finite subcollection is NA. The concept of negative association was introduced by Joag-Dev and Proschan 1 and Block et al. 2. By inspecting the proof of maximal inequality for the NA random variables in Mat
