In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure the validity of confidence intervals, based on the central limit theorem, in simulations of highly reliable Markovian systems. We resort to simulations because of the frequently huge state space in practical systems. So far the literature has focused on the property of bounded relative error. In this paper we focus on ‘bounded normal approximation’ which asserts that the approximation of the normal law, suggested by the central limit theorem, does not deteriorate as the reliability of the system increases. Here we see that the set of systems with bounded normal approximation is (strictly) included in the set of systems with bounded relative error.

AbstractAn early extension of Lindeberg's central limit theorem was Bernstein's (1939) discovery of necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of moments in the central limit theorem. Von Bahr (1965) made a study of some asymptotic expansions in the central limit theorem, and obtained rates of convergence for moments. However, his results do not in general imply that the moments converge. Some better rates have been obtained by Bhattacharya and Rao for moments between the second and third. In this paper we give improved rates of convergence for absolute moments between the third and fourth.

Sufficient conditions for a sum of dissociated random variables to be approximately normally distributed are derived. These results generalize the central limit theorem for U-statistics and provide conditions which can be verified in a number of applications. The method of proof is that due to Stein (1970).

In a previous paper (4) central limit theorems were obtained for sequences of m-dependent random variables (r.v.'s) asymptotically stationary to second order, the sufficient conditions being akin to the Lindeberg condition (3). In this paper similar theorems are obtained for sequences of m-dependent r.v.'s with bounded variances and with the property that for large n, where s′n is the standard deviation of the nth partial sum of the sequence. The same basic ideas as in (4) are used, but the proofs have been simplified. The results of this paper are examined in relation to earlier ones of Hoeffding and Robbins(5) and of the author (4). The cases of identically distributed r.v.'s and of vector r.v.'s are mentioned.
