چکیده
We present a proof of a martingale central limit theorem (Theorem 2) due to McLeish (1974). Then, an application to Markov chains is given.

On the Central Limit Theorems for Forward and Backward Martingales
Let {Xi}i≥1 be a martingale difference sequence with Xi = Si − Si−1. Under some regularity conditions, we show that (X 1+· · ·+X2 Nn)SNn is asymptotically normal, where {Ni}i≥1 is a sequence of positive integer-valued random variables tending to infinity. In a similar manner, a backward (or reverse) martingale central limit theorem with random indices is provided. Keywords—central limit theorem...
متن کاملA Central Limit Theorem for Local Martingales with Applications to the Analysis of Longitudinal Data
SUMMARY A functional central limit theorem for a local square integrable martingale with persistent disconti-nuities is given. By persistent discontinuities, it is meant that the martingale has jumps which do not vanish asymptotically. This central limit theorem is motivated by problems in the analysis of longitudinal and life history data.
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...

متن کاملOn the central and local limit theorem for martingale difference sequences
Let (Ω,A, μ) be a Lebesgue space and T : Ω → Ω an ergodic measure preserving automorphism with positive entropy. We show that there is a bounded and strictly stationary martingale difference sequence defined on Ω with a common non-degenerate lattice distribution satisfying the central limit theorem with an arbitrarily slow rate of convergence and not satisfying the local limit theorem.
