Approximation by normal distribution for a sample sum in sampling without replacement from a finite population

摘要

A sum of observations derived by a simple random sampling design from apopulation of independent random variables is studied. A procedure finding ageneral term of Edgeworth asymptotic expansion is presented. The Lindebergcondition of asymptotic normality, Berry-Esseen bound, Edgeworth asymptoticexpansions under weakened conditions and Cramer type large deviation resultsare derived.
