Abstract
We prove a multivariate central limit theorem with explicit error bound on a non-smooth function distance for sums of bounded decomposable -dimensional random vectors. The decomposition structure is similar to that of Barbour, Karo\'nski and Ruci\'nski (1989) and is more general than the local dependence structure considered in Chen and Shao (2004). The error bound is of the order , where is the dimension and is the number of summands. The dependence on , namely , is the best known dependence even for sums of independent and identically distributed random vectors, and the dependence on , namely , is optimal. We apply our main result to a random graph example.
