Definition

A probabilistic result stating that suitably normalized sums (or averages) of many independent, identically distributed random variables with finite variance converge in distribution to a Gaussian (normal) law as the number of terms grows without bound.

Definition

A family of limit results stating that suitably normalized sums (or averages) of many independent (or weakly dependent) random variables with finite variance converge in distribution to a Gaussian (normal) law as the number of terms tends to infinity, under mild regularity conditions (e.g., Lindeberg or Lyapunov conditions).

Definition

A probabilistic theorem stating that, under fairly general conditions, the distribution of the standardized sum or mean of n independent and identically distributed random variables with finite variance converges to the normal distribution as n grows large; it underpins the justification for approximating sampling distributions by Gaussians in many inferential methods when sample size and conditio

Definition

A statistical result that, under broad regularity conditions (for example finite variance and appropriate independence or Lindeberg-type conditions), the properly normalized sum (or average) of many independent random variables converges in distribution to a Gaussian (normal) distribution as the number of terms grows.
