Bernoulli trials with small dependencies: asymptotics (central limit theorem, law of the iterated logarithm)
Let $\{X_k\}$ be a sequence of random variables, with $X_k\in\{+1, -1\}$ for $k>0$, generated as follows.
First, define $S_n=X_1+\dots +X_n$, with $X_0=S_0=0$, and let $0<\beta<\frac{1}{2}$.
