Abstract
Let Un, n >= 1 be independent uniformly distributed
random variables, and Yn, n >= 1 be independent and
identically distributed non-negative random variables with finite third
moments. Denote Sn the partial sum of Yi
and assume that (U1, ..., Un) and Sn+1
are independent for every
fixed n. In this paper we obtain Berry-Esseen bounds for
the partial sum of g(Ui Sn+1), where g is a non-negative
function. As an application, we give Berry-Esseen bounds and asymptotic
distributions for sums of record values.
