We give a simple technic to derive the Berry-Ess\'een bounds for the quadratic variation of the subfractional Brownian motion (subfBm). Our approach has two main ingredients: ($i$) bounding from above the covariance of quadratic variation…

Let $\mathbf{X}_1,...,\mathbf{X}_n$ be a random sample from a $p$-dimensional population distribution. Assume that $c_1n^{\alpha}\leq p\leq c_2n^{\alpha}$ for some positive constants $c_1,c_2$ and $\alpha$. In this paper we introduce a new…

By a modification of the method that was applied in (Korolev and Shevtsova, 2009), here the inequalities $$\rho(F_n,\Phi)\le\frac{0.335789(\beta^3+0.425)}{\sqrt{n}}$$ and $$\rho(F_n,\Phi)\le \frac{0.3051(\beta^3+1)}{\sqrt{n}} $$ are proved…
