Information Theoretic Central Limit Theorems
We present new results concerning information-theoretic convergence in
the Central Limit Theorem. In joint work with Barron, we present a
simplified proof, which also provides an explicit rate of convergence,
using so-called Poincare inequalities. We also present techniques which
can provide a proof in certain dependent cases, under either a
Rosenblatt-style mixing condition, or for FKG systems.
