Asymptotic Normality and Subsequential Limits of Trimmed Sums
Asymptotic Normality and Subsequential Limits of Trimmed Sums
Let $\{X_i\}$ be i.i.d. and $S_n(s_n, r_n)$ the sum of the first $n X_i$ with the $r_n$ largest and $s_n$ smallest excluded. Assume $r_n \rightarrow \infty, s_n \rightarrow \infty, n^{-1}r_n \rightarrow 0, n^{-1}s_n \rightarrow 0.$ Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of $\{\delta_n\}, \{\gamma_n\}$ such that $\gamma^{-1}_n(S_n(s_n, …
