A REMARK ON THE CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM

A Remark on a Remark by Macaulay or Enhancing Lazard Structural Theorem

The Local Limit Theorem: A Historical Perspective

The local limit theorem describes how the density of a sum of random variables follows the normal curve. However the local limit theorem is often seen as a curiosity of no particular importance when compared with the central limit theorem. Nevertheless the local limit theorem came first and is in fact associated with the foundation of probability theory by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fer...

On the Markov chain central limit theorem

The goal of this paper is to describe conditions which guarantee a central limit theorem for functionals of general state space Markov chains. This is done with a view towards Markov chain Monte Carlo settings and hence the focus is on the connections between drift and mixing conditions and their implications. In particular, we consider three commonly cited central limit theorems and discuss th...

Variations on the Projective Central Limit Theorem

This expository article states and proves four, concrete, projective, central limit theorems. The results are known or suspected to be true by experts who are familiar with the more general central limit theorem for convex bodies, and related theory. Here we consider only four types of high dimensional geometric objects: spheres, balls, cubes, and boundaries of cubes. Each is capable of transfo...

Central Limit Theorem in Multitype Branching Random Walk

A discrete time multitype (p-type) branching random walk on the real line R is considered. The positions of the j-type individuals in the n-th generation form a point process. The asymptotic behavior of these point processes, when the generation size tends to infinity, is studied. The central limit theorem is proved.
