Let $X_1,\dots,X_n$ be i.i.d. log-concave random vectors in $\mathbb R^d$ with mean 0 and covariance matrix $\Sigma$. We study the problem of quantifying the normal approximation error for $W=n^{-1/2}\sum_{i=1}^nX_i$ with explicit…

By the continuous mapping theorem, if a sequence of $d$-dimensional random vectors $(\mathbf{W}_n)_{n\geq1}$ converges in distribution to a multivariate normal random variable $\Sigma^{1/2}\mathbf{Z}$, then the sequence of random variables…
