A variation on the Borel–Cantelli lemma theme
Let $X,X_0,X_1,\dots$ be nonnegative independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables. Let
\begin{equation*}
E:=\bigcap_{n\ge0}B_n,
\end{equation*}
where
\begin{equation*}
B_n:=\...

Functional CLT with an asymptotically small time change
This question was posted to MathSE but it seems like MathOverflow might be the more appropriate place for it.
Suppose I know that $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}X(mt))_{0\leq t\leq 1}\xrightarrow[m\to\infty]{\...

Hypothesis to guarantee Lindeberg's condition
Imagine to have a set of random variables $\{ X_i \}_{i=1}^{n}$ independent (Non identically distributed). In these scenario, if the Lindeberg's condition hold we can extend the result of the CLT, i.e....

A convergence problem
I have a math/stat problem where I need to show the convergence of the average of a sequence of experiments to an interval. The sequence of experiments is not i.i.d., hence the standard law of large ...

Does the average of correlated Gaussian random variables with mean zero and different variances converge in probability to their mean?
Let $X_i\sim N(0,\sigma_i^2)$ and $\operatorname{Corr}(X_i,X_j)>0$. Is it possible to show that $$\frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N X_i \overset{p}\rightarrow E[X_i]=0.$$ Do you have a reference to a law of ...

Compute limit of $\mathbb P(Y \le X_n)$ using limiting information on the sequence of random variables $X_n$
Let $Y$ be a symmetric random variable, $(X_n)_n$ be a sequence of nonnegative random variables, and set $p_n = \mathbb P(Y \le X_n)$. It is known from Slutsky's theorem that, if $c$ is a constant ...

Tightness of a uniformly bounded sequence of functions integrated with respect to a semimartingale
I am reading this paper by Jacod, Jakubowski and Mémin. In the proof of Theorem 1.3 the authors define, for each $n\geq1$ the function $\phi_n$ by
$\quad\phi_n(s)=i+1-ns,\quad\text{if } \frac{i}{n}&...

Weak convergence in Skorohod space
I am reading a paper where they prove Donsker's invariance principle for a sequence of dependent RV's. They do the following steps which I can't follow so well. I won't write out the precise ...

Convergence of function of stochastic processes
Let $X_t$ be a fixed cadlag semi-martingale and $J_n$ be a fixed sequence of functions from $\mathbb{R}^d$ to $\mathbb{R}$ which are twice continuously differentiable. If $J_n$ converge pointwise to ...

A question in central limit theorem
Suppose $\{X_n,n\ge1\}$ are independent r.v., $E(X_n)=0$, $\operatorname{Var} \left(X_n\right)=\sigma_n^2<\infty$. Set $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^nX_i$ and $s_n^2=\sum_{i=1}^n\sigma_i^2$, assume
$$\frac{S_n}{...

Interplay between CLT and convergence in Total Variation
Given a random variable $X$ with bounded moments such that $E[X] = 0, E[X^2] = 1$, let $F_n$ denote the distribution $\sum\limits_{i=1}^d\frac{X_i}{\sqrt{n}}$ where each $X_i$ is an independent copy ...

Central limit theorem and convergence of means [closed]
If $Z_1,Z_2,Z_3,\ldots$ are i.i.d. with $P(Z_i=-1) = P(Z_i=+1) = \frac 12,$ then we have by the Central Limit Theorem that $\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n Z_i}{\sqrt{n}}\stackrel{d}{\to} \mathcal{N}(0,1),$ so ...

Convergence rate of the central limit theorem near the center of the distribution
I'm looking for fast convergence rates for the central limit theorem - when we are not near the tails of the distribution.
Specifically, from the general convergence rates stated in the Berry–Esseen ...
