A Probabilistic Proof of the Lindeberg-Feller Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem, one of the most striking and useful results in probability and statistics, explains why the normal distribution appears in areas as diverse as gambling, measurement error, sampling, and statistical mechanics. In essence, the Central Limit Theorem states that the normal distribution applies whenever one is approximating probabilities for a quantity which is a sum of ma...
متن کاملA Computer Proof of the Central Limit Theorem
It is uncommon to apply computer algebra software to proof, especially for topics which are rarely touched by computer algebra. In order to illustrate the efficacy of symbolic computation in these respects, DERIVE is used in a statistical context to prove the Central Limit Theorem and some advantages and disadvantages of using the techniques outlined here are assessed. The proof is illustrated ...
متن کاملA new proof for the Banach-Zarecki theorem: A light on integrability and continuity
To demonstrate more visibly the close relation between thecontinuity and integrability, a new proof for the Banach-Zareckitheorem is presented on the basis of the Radon-Nikodym theoremwhich emphasizes on measure-type properties of the Lebesgueintegral. The Banach-Zarecki theorem says that a real-valuedfunction $F$ is absolutely continuous on a finite closed intervalif and only if it is continuo...
متن کاملVariance Estimation in the Central Limit Theorem for Markov Chains
This article concerns the variance estimation in the central limit theorem for finite recurrent Markov chains. The associated variance is calculated in terms of the transition matrix of the Markov chain. We prove the equivalence of different matrix forms representing this variance. The maximum likelihood estimator for this variance is constructed and it is proved that it is strongly consistent ...
متن کاملBounds on the Constant in the Mean Central Limit Theorem
Bounds in the mean central limit theorem, where the L1 distance is used to measure the discrepancy of the distribution Fn of a standardized sum of i.i.d. random variables with distributionG from the normal, is of some interest when the normal approximation is to be applied over some wide, and perhaps unspecified range of values. Esseen (1958) showed that the limiting value lim n→∞ n||Fn − Φ||1 ...
