Let $\bX=\{X_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ and $\bY=\{Y_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ be two independent random sequences. We obtain rates of convergence to the normal law of randomly weighted self-normalized sums $$ \psi_n(\bX,\bY)=\sum_{i=1}^nX_iY_i/V_n,\quad…

In this paper we provide the asymptotic theory of the general of $\phi$-divergences measures, which include the most common divergence measures : Renyi and Tsallis families and the Kullback-Leibler measure. We are interested in divergence…
We prove a general theorem to bound the total variation distance between the distribution of an integer valued random variable of interest and an appropriate discretized normal distribution. We apply the theorem to 2-runs in a sequence of…
We propose a new definition of the chi-square divergence between distributions. Based on convexity properties and duality, this version of the {\chi}^2 is well suited both for the classical applications of the {\chi}^2 for the analysis of…
The Central Limit Theorem states that, in the limit of a large number of terms, an appropriately scaled sum of independent random variables yields another random variable whose probability distribution tends to a stable distribution. The…
Let $(X_i)$ be a stationary and ergodic Markov chain with kernel $Q$, $f$ an $L^2$ function on its state space. If $Q$ is a normal operator and $f = (I-Q)^{1/2}g$ (which is equivalent to the convergence of $\sum_{n=1}^\infty…
We give optimal convergence rates in the central limit theorem for a large class of martingale difference sequences with bounded third moments. The rates depend on the behaviour of the conditional variances and for stationary sequences the…

The problem of convergence in law of normed sums of exchangeable random variables is examined. First, the problem is studied w.r.t. arrays of exchangeable random variables, and the special role played by mixtures of products of stable laws…

We refine the classical Lindeberg-Feller central limit theorem by obtaining asymptotic bounds on the Kolmogorov distance, the Wasserstein distance, and the parametrized Prokhorov distances in terms of a Lindeberg index. We thus obtain more…

Under certain general conditions, we prove that the stable central limit theorem holds in the total variation distance and get its optimal convergence rate for all $\alpha \in (0,2)$. Our method is by two measure decompositions, one step…
We establish effective convergence rates in the Doeblin-Lenstra law, describing the limiting distribution of approximation coefficients arising from continued fraction convergents of a typical real number. More generally, we prove…
The article is showing sharpness of central limit theorems of Kipnis and Varadhan, Derriennic and Lin, Maxwell and Woodroofe. In the case of the CLT of Derriennic and Lin (for Markov chains with a normal operator) it is shown that the…
