A Multivariate Central Limit Theorem for Continuous Local Martingales

An Infinite Dimensional Central Limit Theorem for Correlated Martingales

The paper derives a functional central limit theorem for the empirical distributions of a system of strongly correlated continuous martingales at the level of the full trajectory space. We provide a general class of functionals for which the weak convergence to a centered Gaussian random field takes place. An explicit formula for the covariance is established and a characterization of the limit...

Central and Local Limit Theories in Markov Dependent Random Variables

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...

A 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.

Annealed and Quenched Limit Theorems for Random Expanding Dynamical Systems

In this paper, we investigate annealed and quenched limit theorems for random expanding dynamical systems. Making use of functional analytic techniques and more probabilistic arguments with martingales, we prove annealed versions of a central limit theorem, a large deviation principle, a local limit theorem, and an almost sure central limit theorem. We also discuss the quenched central limit th...
