The Exquisite Geometric Structure of a Central Limit Theorem
نویسندگان
چکیده
Universal constructions of univariate and bivariate Gaussian distributions, as transformations of diffuse probability distributions via, respectively, planeand space-filling fractal interpolating functions and the central limit theorems that they imply, are reviewed. It is illustrated that the construction of the bivariate Gaussian distribution yields exotic kaleidoscopic decompositions of the bell in terms of exquisite geometric structures which include non-trivial crystalline patterns having arbitrary n-fold symmetry, for any n > 2. It is shown that these results also hold when fractal interpolating functions are replaced by a more general class of attractors that are not functions.

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...
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 کاملDensity Estimators for Truncated Dependent Data
In some long term studies, a series of dependent and possibly truncated lifetime data may be observed. Suppose that the lifetimes have a common continuous distribution function F. A popular stochastic measure of the distance between the density function f of the lifetimes and its kernel estimate fn is the integrated square error (ISE). In this paper, we derive a central limit theorem for t...
متن کاملA ug 2 01 1 Local central limit theorems in stochastic geometry Mathew
We give a general local central limit theorem for the sum of two independent random variables, one of which satisfies a central limit theorem while the other satisfies a local central limit theorem with the same order variance. We apply this result to various quantities arising in stochastic geometry, including: size of the largest component for percolation on a box; number of components, numbe...
