Statistical convergence was extended to weighted statistical convergence in
[24], by using a sequence of real numbers sk, satisfying some conditions.
Later, weighted statistical convergence was considered in [35] and [19] with
modified conditions on sk. Weighted statistical convergence is an extension
of statistical convergence in the sense that, for sk = 1, for all k, it
reduces to statistical convergence. A definition of weighted ??-statistical
convergence of order ?, considered in [25] does not have this property. To
remove this extension problem the definition given in [25] needs some
modifications. In this paper, we introduced the modified version of weighted
??-statistical convergence of order ?, which is an extension of
??-statistical convergence of order ?. Our definition, with sk = 1, for all
k, reduces to ??-statistical convergence of order ?. Moreover, we use this
definition of weighted ??-statistical convergence of order ?, to prove
Korovkin type approximation theorems via, weighted ??-equistatistical
convergence of order ? and weighted ??-statistical uniform convergence of
order ?, for bivariate functions on [0,?) x [0,?). Also we prove Korovkin
type approximation theorems via ??-equistatistical convergence of order ? and
??-statistical uniform convergence of order ?, for bivariate functions on
[0,?) x [0,?). Some examples of positive linear operators are constructed to
show that, our approximation results works, but its classical and
statistical cases do not work. Finally, rates of weighted ??-equistatistical
convergence of order ? is introduced and discussed.
