Let X1, X2, …, be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables, with the common distribution function F(x). The sequence is said to be normally attracted to a stable law V with characteristic exponent α, if for some an (converges in distribution to V). Necessary and sufficient conditions for normal attraction are known (cf [1, p. 181]).
