Abstract

The rate of convergence of the distribution function of a linear combination of order statistics of n independent and identically distributed random variables with a common distribution function F to its normal limit is investigated. Under the assumptions some α 1, , α 2, β 2 > 0 and with some 0 ≤ κ < 4/3 and appropriate moment conditions a Berry-Esseen bound is given. If the coefficients are generated by a sequence of weight functions of a special structure, then the rate is shown to be . Finally, the result is applied for a statistic, which is widely used in auditing.
