A general formula is obtained for the variance of the maximum of partial sums of n-exchangeable random variables, derived from a result of Spitzer's. The formula is applied in particular to obtain the variance of the maximum of adjusted rescaled partial sums of normal summands. This is of direct relevance to the Hurst effect.

A general formula is obtained for the fourth moment of the maximum of partial sums of $n$-exchangeable random variables derived from a result of Spitzer. The formula is applied in particular to obtain the fourth moment of the maximum of adjusted partial sums of normal summands. This is of direct relevance to reservoir design and the analysis of the structure of stochastic processes and time series.

We give an expression for the expectation of max (0, S1, …, Sn) where Sk is the kth partial sum of a finite sequence of exchangeable random variables X1, …, Xn. When the Xk are also independent, the formula we give has already been obtained by Spitzer; and when the sequence is a finite segment of an infinite sequence of exchangeable random variables, it is a consequence of a theorem of Hewitt.

Studies of storage capacity of reservoirs, under the assumption of infinite storage, lead to the problem of finding the distribution of the range or adjusted range of partial sums of random variables.In this paper, formulas for the expected values of the range and adjusted range of partial sums of exchangeable random variables are presented. Such formulas are based on an elegant result given in Spitzer (1956). Some consequences of the aforementioned formulas are discussed.

In 1952 Pollaczek discovered a remarkable formula for the Laplace-Stieltjes transforms of the distributions of the ordered partial sums for a sequence of independent and identically distributed real random variables. In this paper Pollaczek's result is proved in a simple way and is extended for a semi-Markov sequence of real random variables.
