Extract

Let Xnn ≥ 1, be i.i.d.r.v.'s and Sn = X1+…+Xn. Let be Sn minus the r terms of largest absoluete value. Maller proved that if coverages in distribution to N(0, 1) then so does (Sn/bn)−an, assuming that Xn have a continuous symmetric distribution. We show that his resul;t is true without these extra assumptions. Some related results are also given.
