Abstract:

We obtain the expansion of R´enyi divergence of order α (0 <α < 1) between the normalized sum of IID continuous random variables and the Gaussian limit under minimal moment conditions via Edgeworth-type expansion. The rate is faster than that of Shannon case, which can be used to improve the rate of convergence in total variance norm.

Key words: Rényi divergence, central limit theorem, Edgeworth-type expansion, rate of convergence
