A bound on the rate of convergence in the central limit theorem for renewal processes under second moment conditions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 May 2020
Abstract
A famous result in renewal theory is the central limit theorem for renewal processes. Since, in applications, usually only observations from a finite time interval are available, a bound on the Kolmogorov distance to the normal distribution is desirable. We provide an explicit non-uniform bound for the renewal central limit theorem based on Stein’s method and track the explicit values of the constants. For this bound the inter-arrival time distribution is required to have only a second moment. As an intermediate result of independent interest we obtain explicit bounds in a non-central Berry–Esseen theorem under second moment conditions.
