Let {X
i
, i ≥ 1} be a strictly stationary and positively associated sequence and let \({S_n = \sum_{i=1}^{n}X_i}\), \({M_n = \max_{1\leq j \leq n}|S_j|, |k_n| \leq C/ \log n}\) for some C > 0 and \({\sigma^{2}:= EX_{1}^{2}+2 \sum_{i=2}^{\infty}EX_{1}X_{i}}\). By a maximal probability inequality established in this paper, the precise rate of a kind of weighted infinite series of \({P\{M_n \leq
... [Show full abstract] \epsilon \sigma \frac{\pi^2 n}{8\log n}\}}\) as \({\epsilon \nearrow \infty}\) is obtained, which reflects the convergence rate of the Chung law of the logarithm. In addition, in view of a Berry–Esseen bound derived in this paper, we obtain also the precise rates of a kind of weighted infinite series of \({P\{|S_n| \geq (\epsilon + k_n) \sigma \sqrt{n\log n}\}}\) and \({P\{M_n \geq (\epsilon + k_n) \sigma \sqrt{n \log n}\}}\) as \({\epsilon\searrow 0}\), which extend the corresponding one in Xing and Yang (J Math Anal Appl 373:422–431, 2011).
