We present structural improvements of Esseen's (1969) and Rozovskii's (1974) estimates for the rate of convergence in the Lindeberg theorem and also compute the appearing absolute constants. We introduce the asymptotically exact constants in the constructed inequalities and obtain upper bounds for them. We analyze the values of Esseen's, Rozovskii's, and Lyapunov's fractions, compare them pairwise and provide some extremal distributions. As an auxiliary statement, we prove a sharp inequality for the quadratic tails of an arbitrary distribution (with finite second order moment) and its convolutional symmetrization.
Following (Shevtsova, 2013) we introduce detailed classification of the asymptotically exact constants in natural estimates of the rate of convergence in the Lindeberg central limit theorem, namely in Esseen’s, Rozovskii’s, and Wang–Ahmad’s inequalities and their structural improvements obtained in our previous works. The above inequalities involve algebraic truncated third-order moments and the classical Lindeberg fraction and assume finiteness only the second-order moments of random summands. We present lower bounds for the introduced asymptotically exact constants as well as for the universal and for the most optimistic constants which turn to be not far from the upper ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
