The Central Limit Theorem - Main Concepts

Central limit theorem - proof For the proof below we will use the following theorem. Theorem: Let X nbe a random variable with moment generating function M Xn (t) and Xbe a random variable with moment generating function M X(t). If lim n!1 M Xn (t) = M X(t) then the distribution function (cdf) of X nconverges to the distribution function of Xas ...

Introduction Elementary Functions and fields Liouville’s Theorem An example Probability Central Limit Theorem Φ(x)=1 √ 2π! x e−u2/2 du For probability applications, we needΦ(∞) = 1.This is not proved by finding a formula forΦ(x) (by findingan explicit antiderivative of e−u2/2) and taking the limit as x →∞.

the central limit theorem for martingales and stationary sequences deleted from the fourth edition has been reinstated. • The four sections of the random walk chapter have been relocated. Stopping times have been moved to the martingale chapter; recur-rence of random walks and the arcsine laws to the Markov chain

are versions of the SLLN, the Central Limit Theorem, the Wald indentities, and the Chebyshev, Markov, and Kolmogorov inequalities for martingales. To get some appreciation of why this might be so, consider the decomposition of a martingale {Xn} as a partial sum process: (4) Xn ˘ X0 ¯ Xn j˘1 »j where »j ˘ Xj ¡Xj¡1. 1

strong law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. For the other examples given above, however, an iid sequence would not capture enough ... An iid sequence is a very special kind of Markov chain; whereas a Markov chain’s future is allowed (but not required) to depend on the present state, an iid sequence’s future does ...
