A second order approximation for the inverse of the distribution function of the sample mean

Jorge M. Arevalillo (2001)

Kybernetika

The classical quantile approximation for the sample mean, based on the central limit theorem, has been proved to fail when the sample size is small and we approach the tail of the distribution. In this paper we will develop a second order approximation formula for the quantile which improves the classical one under heavy tails underlying distributions, and performs very accurately in the upper tail of the distribution even for relatively small samples.

A sharp analysis on the asymptotic behavior of the Durbin–Watson statistic for the first-order autoregressive process

Bernard Bercu, Frédéric Proïa (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

The purpose of this paper is to provide a sharp analysis on the asymptotic behavior of the Durbin–Watson statistic. We focus our attention on the first-order autoregressive process where the driven noise is also given by a first-order autoregressive process. We establish the almost sure convergence and the asymptotic normality for both the least squares estimator of the unknown parameter of the autoregressive process as well as for the serial correlation estimator associated with the driven noise....

A uniform central limit theorem for dependent variables

Konrad Furmańczyk (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Niemiro and Zieliński (2007) have recently obtained uniform asymptotic normality for the Bernoulli scheme. This paper concerns a similar problem. We show the uniform central limit theorem for a sequence of stationary random variables.

About the Lindeberg method for strongly mixing sequences

Emmanuel Rio (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We extend the Lindeberg method for the central limit theorem to strongly mixing sequences. Here we obtain a generalization of the central limit theorem of Doukhan, Massart and Rio to nonstationary strongly mixing triangular arrays. The method also provides estimates of the Lévy distance between the distribution of the normalized sum and the standard normal.
