Explicit bounds for the distributional distance between the distribution of the MLE and the normal distribution have recently been obtained for the case of independent random variables. In this paper, a local dependence structure is introduced between the random variables and we give upper bounds which are specified for the Wasserstein metric.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-19T13:26:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "62F12", "62E20" ], "keywords": [ "maximum likelihood estimator", "m-dependent random variables", "normal approximation", "independent random variables", "local dependence structure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
