This paper presents central limit theorems for triangular arrays of mixingale and near-epoch-dependent random variables. The central limit theorem for near-epoch-dependent random variables improves results from the literature in various respects. The approach is to define a suitable Bernstein blocking scheme and apply a martingale difference central limit theorem, which in combination with weak dependence conditions renders the result. The most important application of this central limit theorem is the improvement of the conditions that have to be imposed for asymptotic normality of minimization estimators.

Three different definitions of the renewal processes are considered. For each of them, a central limit theorem with a remainder term is proved. The random variables that form the renewal processes are independent but not necessarily identically distributed and do not have to be positive. The results obtained in this paper improve and extend the central limit theorems obtained by Ahmad (1981) and Niculescu and Omey (1985).

A central limit theorem for cumulative processes was first derived by Smith (1955). No remainder term was given. We use a different approach to obtain such a term here. The rate of convergence is the same as that in the central limit theorems for sequences of independent random variables.

Almost sure limit theorems are presented for random allocations. A general almost sure limit theorem is proved for arrays of random variables. It is applied to obtain almost sure versions of the central limit theorem for the number of empty boxes when the parameters are in the central domain. Almost sure versions of the Poisson limit theorem in the left domain are also proved.
