Central Limit Theorems and Asymptotic Spectral Analysis on Large Graphs

Author(s):

Regarding the adjacency matrix of a graph as a random variable in the framework of algebraic or noncommutative probability, we discuss a central limit theorem in which the size of a graph grows in several patterns. Various limit distributions are observed for some Cayley graphs and some distance-regular graphs. To obtain the central limit theorem of this type, we make combinatorial analysis of mixed moments of noncommutative random variables on one hand, and asymptotic analysis of spectral structure of the graph on the other hand.

Let be a family of random walks with For ε↓0 under certain conditions the random walk U (∊) n converges to an oscillating random walk. The ladder point distributions and expectations converge correspondingly. Let M ∊ = max {U (∊) n , n ≧ 0}, v 0 = min {n : U (∊) n = M ∊}, v 1 = max {n : U (∊) n = M ∊}. The joint limiting distribution of ∊2σ∊ –2 v 0 and ∊σ∊ –2 M ∊ is determined. It is the same as for ∊2σ∊ –2 v 1 and ∊σ–2 ∊ M ∊. The marginal ∊σ–2 ∊ M ∊ gives Kingman's heavy traffic theorem. Also lim ∊–1 P(M ∊ = 0) and lim ∊–1 P(M ∊ < x) are determined. Proofs are by direct comparison of corresponding probabilities for U (∊) n and for a special family of random walks related to MI/M/1 queues, using the central limit theorem.

Kertas ini mengemukakan satu cara mencari momen memusat mutlak ketiga bagi pembolehubah rawak khi-kuasadua. Aturcara SAS (1988) iaitu PROBCHI digunakan bagi menyelesaikan pengamiran berangka. Kegunaannya dalam membina batas yang tepat ke atas ralat penghampiran dalam Teorem Had Memusat diberikan. This paper presents a way of calculating the third absolute central moment of a chi-square random variable. The SAS (1988) function PROBCHI is used to evaluate the numerical integrations. An application of this result in the construction of an exact bound on the error of approximation in the Central Limit Theorem is presented.

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.

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.

A functional central limit theorem extending the central limit theorem of Chung (1954) for the Robbins–Munro procedure is proved. It is shown that the asymptotic normality is preserved under certain random stopping rules.

Understanding the central limit theorem is crucial for comprehending parametric inferential statistics. Despite this, undergraduate and graduate students alike often struggle with grasping how the theorem works and why researchers rely on its properties to draw inferences from a single unbiased random sample. In this article, I outline a new command, sdist, that can be used to simulate the central limit theorem by generating a matrix of randomly generated normal or nonnormal variables and comparing the true sampling distribution standard deviation with the standard error from the first randomly generated sample. The user also has the option of plotting the empirical sampling distribution of sample means, the first random variable distribution, and a stacked visualization of the two distributions.

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.
