Talk:Berry–Esséen theorem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The formula Fn is INCORRECT.

Pls check against the German's page (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satz_von_Berry-Ess%C3%A9en) or the source already listed in "External links" (Chen, Po-Ning (2002). Asymptotic Refinement of the Berry-Esseen Constant)

The correct one is:

  Fn = Yn / (standard deviation/sqrt(n)) 

[Someone else] You are wrong: Fn is cdf of (X1+...+Xn)/(stdev*sqrt(n)) = Yn*sqrt(n)/stdev That's what on the German page you mention, but you read too quickly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.212.95.141 (talk) 09:22, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling of Esseen

I claim that the correct spelling of Gustav Esseen's name has no accent on the 'e'. This is a tricky point because it is written with an accent in many sources. He's definitely Swedish; I don't know if this helps determine the truth. Credible citations with no accent:
