AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the central limit theorem and the invariance principle for linear processes generated by a new notion of independently and identically distributed (IID) random variables for sub-linear expectations initiated by Peng [19]. It turns out that these theorems are natural and fairly neat extensions of the classical Kolmogorov’s central limit theorem and invariance principle to the case where probability measures are no longer additive.

By an inequality of partial sum and uniform convergence of the central limit theorem under sublinear expectations, we establish precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm for independent and identically distributed random variables under sublinear expectations.

This chapter advances the historical context for quantification by describing the climate of the day—social, cultural, political, and intellectual—as fraught with disquieting influences. Forces leading to the French Revolution were building, and the colonists in America were fighting for secession from England. During this time, three important number theorems came into existence: the binomial theorem, the law of large numbers, and the central limit theorem. Each is described in easy-to-understand language. These are fundamental to how numbers operate in a probability circumstance. Pascal’s triangle is explained as a shortcut solving some binomial expansions, and Jacob Bernoulli’s Ars Conjectandi, which presents the study of measurement “error” for the first time, is discussed. In addition, the central limit theorem is explained in terms of its relevance to probability theory, and its utility today.

Let X1, X2,…be independent and identically distributed non-lattice random variables with zero, varianceσ2<∞, and partial sums Sn = X1+X2+…+X.
