Is there an example that both Berry-Essen bound and DKW bound are attained?

The Berry-Essen bound stated that $$\sup _{{x\in {\mathbb R}}}\left|\widehat{F_{n}(x)}-\Phi (x)\right|\leq C_{0}\cdot \psi _{0}$$ where $\psi _{0}(n)={\Big (}{\textstyle \sum \limits _{{i=1}}^{n}\...

Anti-concentration bounds for folded normal and inverse of gaussian variables

Are there any easy to use bounds on sums of the following kind : $$ \sum_{i = 1}^{i = N} |a_i| \geq P \\ a_i \sim \mathcal{N}(0, 1) \\ $$ and also for sums of the form : $$ \sum_{i = 1}^{i = M} \...
