A Central Limit Theorem for Belief Functions
The purpose of this Note is to prove a form of CLT (Theorem 1.4) that is used in Epstein and Seo (2011). More general central limit results and other applications will follow in later drafts. Let S = fB;Ng and K (S) = ffBg; fNg; fB;Ngg the set of nonempty subsets of S. Denote by s1 = (s1; s2; :::) the generic element of S1 and by n (s1) the empirical frequency of the outcome B in the rst n exp...
متن کاملConvergence of Moments in a Markov-chain Central Limit Theorem
Let (Xi)1i=0 be a V -uniformly ergodic Markov chain on a general state space, and let be its stationary distribution. For g : X! R, de ne Wk(g) := k 1=2 k 1 X i=0 g(Xi) (g) : It is shown that if jgj V 1=n for a positive integer n, then ExWk(g) n converges to the n-th moment of a normal random variable with expectation 0 and variance 2 g := (g ) (g) + 1 X j=1 Z g(x)Exg(Xj) (g) 2 : This extends t...
متن کاملCombable functions , quasimorphisms , and the central limit theorem
A function on a discrete group is weakly combable if its discrete derivative with respect to a combing can be calculated by a finite-state automaton. A weakly combable function is bicombable if it is Lipschitz in both the leftand right-invariant word metrics. Examples of bicombable functions on word-hyperbolic groups include: (1) homomorphisms to Z; (2) word length with respect to a finite gene...
متن کاملCentral 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.
متن کاملThe Martingale Central Limit Theorem
One of the most useful generalizations of the central limit theorem is the martingale central limit theorem of Paul Lévy. Lévy was in part inspired by Lindeberg’s treatment of the central limit theorem for sums of independent – but not necessarily identically distributed – random variables. Lindeberg formulated what, in retrospect, is the right hypothesis, now known as the Lindeberg condition,1...
