We continue the research of Lata{\l}a on improving estimates of $p$-th moments of sums of independent random variables. We generalize some of his results in the case when $2 \leq p \leq 4$ and present a combinatorial approach for even…

Let $X_1,\ldots,X_N$ be i.i.d.\ random variables distributed like $X$. Suppose that the first $k \geq 3$ moments $\{ \mathbb{E}[X^j] : j = 1,\ldots,k\}$ of $X$ agree with that of the standard Gaussian distribution, that…
Let $X$ be a centered random variable with unit variance, zero third moment, and such that $E[X^4] \ge 3$. Let $\{F_n : n\geq 1\}$ denote a normalized sequence of homogeneous sums of fixed degree $d\geq 2$, built from independent copies of…

We derive Berry-Esseen approximation bounds for general functionals of independent random variables, based on chaos expansions methods. Our results apply to $U$-statistics satisfying the weak assumption of decomposability in the Hoeffding…
In the context of bounding probability of small deviation, there are limited general tools. However, such bounds have been widely applied in graph theory and inventory management. We introduce a common approach to substantially sharpen such…
We establish both uniform and nonuniform error bounds of the Berry-Esseen type in normal approximation under local dependence. These results are of an order close to the best possible if not best possible. They are more general or sharper…
Let $\{{X}_k\}_{k\geq\mathbb{Z}}$ be a stationary sequence. Given $p\in(2,3]$ moments and a mild weak dependence condition, we show a Berry-Esseen theorem with optimal rate $n^{p/2-1}$. For $p\geq4$, we also show a convergence rate of…

An analogue of the Berry-Esseen inequality is proved for the speed of convergence of free additive convolutions of bounded probability measures. The obtained rate of convergence is of the order n^{-1/2}, the same as in the classical case.…
