Liapounov's central limit theorem.


roposition

(Convergence lemma for family of complex numbers) Let MATH MATH be a family of complex numbers such that

1. MATH , $n\rightarrow\infty$ ,

2. MATH for a constant $M$ independent of $n$ ,

3. MATH .

Then MATH

Proof

We calculate MATH All the potential difficulties with the above are ovecome by noting that the $\theta_{nj}$ are small starting from some $n$ according to the condition 1.

Proposition

(Liapounov CLT) Let MATH MATH is a family of r.v. such that MATH Then MATH

Proof

It suffices to establish that MATH because then the statement would follow from the proposition ( Convergence of pm and chf 2 ).

To prove that MATH we verify the conditions of the proposition ( Convergence lemma for family of complex numbers ) pointwise in $t$ for MATH : MATH We substitute the Taylor decomposition of $e^{itx}$ around $t=0$ in the following form: MATH Hence MATH Since MATH we have MATH Then by the proposition ( Liapounov inequality ), MATH Hence, MATH The condition MATH is verified in a similar manner with the use of MATH .

Finally, MATH Hence, MATH and the proposition ( Convergence lemma for family of complex numbers ) yields MATH
