Variations on the Projective Central Limit Theorem

چکیده
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 transforming uniform random variables into normal random variables through projection. This paper has been written to introduce new proof techniques, demonstrate how statistical simulation can be applied to geometry, and to build a foundation upon which recreational research projects can be built. The goal is to give the reader a better understanding of some of the mathematics at the juncture of probability theory, analysis, and geometry in high dimensions.

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.
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملRates of convergence for minimal distances in the central limit theorem under projective criteria
In this paper, we give estimates of ideal or minimal distances between the distribution of the normalized partial sum and the limiting Gaussian distribution for stationary martingale difference sequences or stationary sequences satisfying projective criteria. Applications to functions of linear processes and to functions of expanding maps of the interval are given.
