Berry-Esseen Bound for a sample sum from a finite set of independent random variables

L. C. Zhao, C. Q. Wu, Qiying Wang

Abstract: Let {X1,...,XN} be a set of N independent random variables, and let Sn be a sum of n random variables chosen without replacement from the set {X1,...,XN} with equal probabilities. In this paper we give an estimate of the remainder term for the normal approximation of Sn under mild conditions.
