The second order mixed partial derivative of the covariance function $ R(t,\\, s)=\\mathbb{E}[G_t G_s]$ can be decomposed into two parts, one of which coincides with that of fractional Brownian motion and the other of which is bounded by $(ts)^{H-1}$ up to a constant factor. This condition is valid for a class of continuous Gaussian processes that fails to be self-similar or have stationary increments. %Some examples include the subfractional Brownian motion and the bi-fractional Brownian motion. Under this assumption, we obtain the optimal Berry-Ess\\'{e}en bounds when $H\\in (0,\\,\\frac23]$ and the upper Berry-Ess\\'{e}en bounds when $H\\in (\\frac23,\\,\\frac34]$. As a by-product, we also show the almost sure central limit theorem (ASCLT) for the quadratic variation when $H\\in (0,\\,\\frac34]$. The results extend that of \\cite{NP 09} to the case of general Gaussian processes, unify and improve the Berry-Ess\\'{e}en bounds in \\cite{Tu 11}, \\cite{AE 12} and \\cite{KL 21} for respectively the sub-fractional Brownian motion, the bi-fractional Brownian motion and the sub-bifractional Brownian motion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-06-03T13:55:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H07", "60G15", "60F05" ], "keywords": [ "general gaussian process", "quadratic variation", "sure clt", "berry-esséen bounds", "bi-fractional brownian motion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
