Certain extremum estimators have asymptotic distributions that are non-Gaussian, yet characterizable as the distribution of the $\argmax$ of a Gaussian process. This paper presents high-level sufficient conditions under which such…

This paper introduces a version of the argmax continuous mapping theorem that applies to M-estimation problems in which the objective functions converge to a limiting process with multiple maximizers. The concept of the smallest maximizer…

Consider finitely many nets of multivariate c\`adl\`ag stochastic processes. We show that the vectors consisting of the respective minimizing points converge in distribution to a random closed set. This set is given as a cartesian product…

This paper proves several assertions on sufficient conditions for the convergence of additive arithmetic functions to the normal distribution. A generalization of the Erdos-Kac theorem was proved and determines the rate of convergence of…

We characterize the convergence in distribution to a standard normal law for a sequence of multiple stochastic integrals of a fixed order with variance converging to 1. Some applications are given, in particular to study the limiting…

One reason why standard formulations of the central limit theorems are not applicable in high-dimensional and non-stationary regimes is the lack of a suitable limit object. Instead, suitable distributional approximations can be used, where…

The aim of the paper is to study the limit distributions and the asymptotic behavior of summation arithmetic functions. A probabilistic approach based on the use of the axioms of probability theory is used for these purposes. Sufficient…

We generalise the Erdos-Renyi limit theorem on the maximum of the partial sums of random variables to the case when the number of terms in these sums is randomly distributed. Certain relations between the limiting theorems of this type and…

Under an appropriate regular variation condition, the affinely normalized partial sums of a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables converges weakly to a non-Gaussian stable random variable. A functional version…

In applied probability, the normal approximation is often used for the distribution of data with assumed additive structure. This tradition is based on the central limit theorem for sums of (independent) random variables. However, it is…

The statement of the mean field approximation theorem in the mean field theory of Markov processes particularly targets the behaviour of population processes with an unbounded number of agents. However, in most real-world engineering…

The general limit distributions of the sum of random variables described by a finite matrix product ansatz are characterized. Using a mapping to a Hidden Markov Chain formalism, non-standard limit distributions are obtained, and related to…
