Abstract

Under Poincaré-type conditions, upper bounds are explored for the Kolmogorov distance between the distributions of weighted sums of dependent summands and the normal law. Based on improved concentration inequalities on high-dimensional Euclidean spheres, the results extend and refine previous results to non-symmetric models.
