Variations on the Berry-Esseen theorem (1002.3970v1)

Published 21 Feb 2010 in math.PR

Abstract: We analyze the quality of the gaussian approximation to linear combinations of n independent, identically-distributed random variables with finite fourth moments. It turns out that there exist universal, simple linear combinations that perform better than the sum of the variables. We also investigate the case in which the random variables are independent, yet they are not necessarily identically distributed.
