Resumo:
This dissertation is devoted to the study of the rates of convergence in the Martingale Central Limit Theorem. We begin the first part presenting the Martingale Theory, introducing the concept of conditional expectation and its properties. In this way we can describe what a martingale is, present examples of martingales, and state some of the principal theorems and results about them. In the second part we will analyze the Central Limit Theorem for random variables, presenting the concepts of characteristic function and the convergence in distribution, which will be used in the proof of various versions of the Central Limit Theorem. We will demonstrate three different forms of the Central Limit Theorem, for independent and identically distributed random variables, Lindeberg-Feller and for a Poisson distribution. After that we can introduce the Martingale Central Limit Theorem, demonstrating a more general form and then stating a more specific form on which we shall focus. Lastly, we will discuss rates of convergence in the Central Limit Theorems, with a focus on the rates of convergence in the Martingale Central Limit Theorem. In particular, we state results of [4], which determine, up to a multiplicative constant, the optimal dependence of the rate on a certain parameter of the martingale.
