Q

State the Lindeberg-Feller CLT for triangular arrays.

Q

State Lyapunov’s condition: alternative condition that implies Lindeberg’s condition.

A

(Lyapunov).

18
Q

State a relaxation to Lyapunov’s condition.

19
Q

Consider a previous example, where we had X_in = (sigma squared * n)^(-1/2)*X_i . Show that the relaxation for the Lyapunov’s condition is sufficient for Lindeberg’s condition to hold true in this case.

20
Q

State Lindeberg-Levy’s CLT for triangular arrays.

A

If X_in is iid across i, a sufficient condition for Lindeberg’s condition becomes

21
Q

Show how to arrive at the sufficient condition for Lindeberg’s condition in the Lindeberg-Levy CLT.

22
Q

State our example again and give the specific condition for Lindeberg-Levy CLT in the case of this example.

23
Q

Consider: what can you say about it’s distribution? How would you start checking it?

A

Start checking by seeing the characteristic function converges to the characteristic function of the limit.

24
Q

Show the short way: Check against assumptions of the Lindeberg condition.

25
Make a claim regarding the distribution of sum of RVs in one row where there is within row iid.
26
What is the relationship between the number of moments of an RV and the differentiability of it's characteristic function?
27
Derive the second order expansion of the characteristic function around 0.
28
Show from first principles that the distribution of the sum of RVs is N(0,1).
