A Central Limit Theorem for Random Fields of Negatively Associated Processes

A central limit theorem for negatively associated random fields is established under the fairly general conditions. We use the finite second moment condition instead of the finite (2+)th moment condition used by Roussas.⁽¹⁵⁾ A similar result is also given for positively associated sequences.     

A Berry--Esseen theorem for weakly negatively dependent random variables and its applications

We show that \begin{gather*} \sup_{x} \left|P\left(\frac{S_{n}}{B_{n}}<x\right)-\Phi(x)\right|= O\bigg(n^{-\delta/(2+3\delta)}\vee \frac{n^{3\delta^{2}/(4+6\delta)}}{B^{2+\delta}_{n}} \sum_{i=1}^{n} E{|X_{i}|}^{2+\delta}\bigg) \end{gather*} under finite $(2+\delta)$th moment and a power decay rate of covariances. Moreover, by the truncation method, we obtain a Berry--Esseen type estimate for negatively associated (NA) random variables with only finite second moment. As applications, we obtain another convergence rate result in the central limit theorem and precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm for NA sequences, and also for LNQD sequences.     

CLT for linear random fields with stationary martingale-difference innovation

In [V. Paulauskas, On Beveridge–Nelson decomposition and limit theorems for linear random fields, J. Multivariate Anal., 101:621–639, 2010], limit theorems for linear random fields generated by independent identically distributed innovations were proved. In this paper, we present the central limit theorem for linear random fields with martingale-differences innovations satisfying the central limit theorem from [J. Dedecker, A central limit theorem for stationary random fields, Probab. Theory Relat. Fields, 110(3):397–426, 1998] and arranged in lexicographical order.     

Statistical Version of the Central Limit Theorem for Vector-Valued Random Fields

The classical central limit theorem due to Newman for real-valued strictly stationary associated random fields is generalized to strictly stationary quasi-associated vector-valued random fields comprising, in particular, positively or negatively associated fields with finite second moments. We also establish a version of the CLT with random matrix normalization which allows us to construct approximate confidence intervals for the unknown mean vector.     

On the Almost Sure Central Limit Theorem for a Class of Z d -Actions

As an extension of earlier papers on stationary sequences, a concept of weak dependence for strictly stationary random fields is introduced in terms of so-called homoclinic transformations. Under assumptions made within the framework of this concept a form of the almost sure central limit theorem (ASCLT) is established for random fields arising from a class of algebraic Z ^d -actions on compact abelian groups. As an auxillary result, the central limit theorem is proved via Ch. Stein's method. The next stage of the proof includes some estimates which are specific for ASCLT. Both steps are based on making use of homoclinic transformations.     

A central limit theorem for stationary random fields

Summary. We prove a central limit theorem for strictly stationary random fields under a projective assumption. Our criterion is similar to projective criteria for stationary sequences derived from Gordin's theorem about approximating martingales. However our approach is completely different, for we establish our result by adapting Lindeberg's method. The criterion that it provides is weaker than martingale-type conditions, and moreover we obtain as a straightforward consequence, central limit theorems for α-mixing or φ-mixing random fields.

Mean convergence theorems and weak laws of large numbers for weighted sums of dependent random variables

Under some conditions of uniform integrability and appropriate conditions, mean convergence theorems and weak laws of large numbers for weighted sums of dependent random variables are obtained. Our results extend and improve the results of [H.S. Sung, S. Lisawadi, A. Volodin, Weak laws of large numbers for arrays under a condition of uniform integrability, J. Korean Math. Soc. 45 (2008) 289-300] and [M. Ordóñez Cabrera, A. Volodin, Mean convergence theorems and weak laws of large numbers for weighted sums of random variables under a condition of weighted integrability, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 305 (2005) 644-658].     

Stein's method and random character ratios

Stein's method is used to prove limit theorems for random character ratios. Tools are developed for four types of structures: finite groups, Gelfand pairs, twisted Gelfand pairs, and association schemes. As one example an error term is obtained for a central limit theorem of Kerov on the spectrum of the Cayley graph of the symmetric group generated by -cycles. Other main examples include an error term for a central limit theorem of Ivanov on character ratios of random projective representations of the symmetric group, and a new central limit theorem for the spectrum of certain random walks on perfect matchings. The results are obtained with very little information: a character formula for a single representation close to the trivial representation and estimates on two step transition probabilities of a random walk. The limit theorems stated in this paper are for normal approximation, but many of the tools developed are applicable for arbitrary distributional approximation.

     

The Weak Convergence for Functions of Negatively Associated Random Variables

Let {X_n, n1} be a sequence of stationary negatively associated random variables, S_j(l)=∑^l_i=1 X_j+i, S_n=∑ⁿ_i=1 X_i. Suppose that f(x) is a real function. Under some suitable conditions, the central limit theorem and the weak convergence for sums are investigated. Applications to limiting distributions of estimators of Var S_n are also discussed.     

Normal approximation for linear stochastic processes and random fields in Hilbert space

The central limit theorem is proved for linear random fields defined on an integer-valued lattice of arbitrary dimension and taking values in Hilbert space. It is shown that the conditions in the central limit theorem are optimal. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 68, No. 3, pp. 421–428, September, 2000.

次线性期望下的一般中心极限定理

受Peng-中心极限定理的启发,本文主要应用G-正态分布的概念,放宽Peng-中心极限定理的条件,在次线性期望下得到形式更为一般的中心极限定理.首先,将均值条件E[X_n]=ε[X_n]=0放宽为|E[X_n]|+|ε[X_n]|=O(1/n);其次,应用随机变量截断的方法,放宽随机变量的2阶矩与2+δ阶矩条件;最后,将该定理的Peng-独立性条件进行放宽,得到卷积独立随机变量的中心极限定理.     

Rates in the Empirical Central Limit Theorem for Stationary Weakly Dependent Random Fields

A weak dependence condition is derived as the natural generalization to random fields on notions developed in Doukhan and Louhichi (1999). Examples of such weakly dependent fields are defined. In the context of a weak dependence coefficient series with arithmetic or geometric decay, we give explicit bounds in Prohorov metric for the convergence in the empirical central limit theorem. For random fields indexed by &Zopf ^d , in the geometric decay case, rates have the form n ^−1/(8d+24) L(n), where L(n) is a power of log(n). This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The central limit theorem for stationary Markov processes with normal generator—with applications to hypergroups

We extend the central limit theorem for additive functionals of a stationary, ergodic Markov chain with normal transition operator due to Gordin and Lif?ic, 1981 [A remark about a Markov process with normal transition operator, In: Third Vilnius Conference on Probability and Statistics 1, pp. 147–48] to continuous-time Markov processes with normal generators. As examples, we discuss random walks on compact commutative hypergroups as well as certain random walks on non-commutative, compact groups.     

On the normal approximation for random fields via martingale methods

We prove a central limit theorem for strictly stationary random fields under a sharp projective condition. The assumption was introduced in the setting of random sequences by Maxwell and Woodroofe. Our approach is based on new results for triangular arrays of martingale differences, which have interest in themselves. We provide as applications new results for linear random fields and nonlinear random fields of Volterra-type.

Estimate of the rate of convergence in the central limit theorem for m-dependent random fields

For random fields with a discrete parameter we obtain an estimate of the rate of convergence in the central limit theorem. Relative to the random fields we assume a certain condition of m-dependence to be satisfied.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 17, No. 1, pp. 129–132, January, 1975.     

Central limit theorem for associated random variables

In this paper, we investigate an functional central limit theorem for a nonstatioaryd-parameter array of associated random variables applying the criterion of the tightness condition in Bickel and Wichura[1971]. Our results imply an extension to the nonstatioary case of invariance principle of Burton and Kim(1988) and analogous results for thed-dimensional associated random measure. These results are also applied to show a new functional central limit theorem for Poisson cluster random variables.     

渐近负相关随机域强定律的收敛率

In this paper,a notion of negative side ρ-mixing (ρ--mixing) which can be regarded as asymptotic negative association is defined,and some Rosenthal type inequalities for ρ--mixing random fields are established. The complete convergence and almost sure summability on the convergence rates with respect to the strong law of large numbers are also discussed for ρ--mixing random fields. The results obtained extend those for negatively associated sequences and ρ*-mixing random fields.
