Abstract

Suppose that the ℝd-valued random vector 0 is strictly operator-stable in the sense that μ̂, the characteristic function of 0, satisfies μ̂(z)t = μ̂(tB*z) for every t > 0, for some invertible linear operator B on ℝd. Suppose also that for the i.i.d. random vectors {Xi} in ℝd, n-B Σi=1n Xiw 0. In the present paper, we study the rates of convergence of this operator-stable limit theorem in terms of several probability metrics. A new type of "ideal" metrics suitable for this rate-of-convergence problem is introduced.
