Central Limit Theorem Forthe

چکیده
The Edwards model in one dimension is a transformed path measure for standard Brownian motion discouraging self-intersections. We prove a central limit theorem for the endpoint of the path, extending a law of large numbers proved by Westwater (1984). The scaled variance is characterized in terms of the largest eigenvalue of a one-parameter family of diierential operators, introduced and analyzed in van der Hofstad and den Hollander (1995). Interestingly, the scaled variance turns out to be independent of the strength of self-repellence and to be strictly smaller than one (the value for free Brownian motion).

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 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 Proof of a Non-Commutative Central Limit Theorem by the Lindeberg Method
A Central Limit Theorem for non-commutative random variables is proved using the Lindeberg method. The theorem is a generalization of the Central Limit Theorem for free random variables proved by Voiculescu. The Central Limit Theorem in this paper relies on an assumption which is weaker than freeness.
