Poincar\'e Inequalities and Normal Approximation for Weighted Sums

Probability 2020-11-19 v1

Abstract

Under Poincar\'e-type conditions, upper bounds are explored for the Kolmogorov distance between the distributions of weighted sums of dependent summands and the normal law. Based on improved concentration inequalities on high-dimensional Euclidean spheres, the results extend and refine previous results to non-symmetric models.
