Abstract

A central limit theorem is proved for dependent stochastic processes. Global heterogeneity of the distribution of the terms is permitted, including asymptotically unbounded moments. The approach is to adapt a CLT for martingale differences due to McLeish and show that suitably defined Bernstein blocks satisfy the required conditions.
