$\phi \left(t\right)=E\left[{e}^{itX}\right]\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{and}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}{\phi }_{n}\left(t\right)=E\left[{e}^{it{S}_{n}^{*}}\right]={\phi }^{n}\left(t/\sigma \sqrt{n}\right)$

Using the power series expansion of φ about the origin noted above, we have

$\phi \left(t\right)=1-\frac{{\sigma }^{2}{t}^{2}}{2}+\beta \left(t\right)\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{where}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\beta \left(t\right)=o\left({t}^{2}\right)\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{as}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}t\to 0$

This implies

$|\phi \left(t/\sigma \sqrt{n}\right)-\left(1-{t}^{2}/2n\right)|=|\beta \left(t/\sigma \sqrt{n}\right)|=o\left({t}^{2}/{\sigma }^{2}n\right)$

so that

$n|\phi \left(t/\sigma \sqrt{n}\right)-\left(1-{t}^{2}/2n\right)|\to 0\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{as}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}n\to \infty$

A standard lemma of analysis ensures

$|{\phi }^{n}\left(t/\sigma \sqrt{n}\right)-{\left(1-{t}^{2}/2n\right)}^{n}|\le n|\phi \left(t/\sigma \sqrt{n}\right)-\left(1-{t}^{2}/2n\right)|\to 0\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{as}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}n\to \infty$

It is a well known property of the exponential that

${\left(1,-,\frac{{t}^{2}}{2n}\right)}^{n}\to {e}^{-{t}^{2}/2}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{as}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}n\to \infty$

so that

$\phi \left(t/\sigma \sqrt{n}\right)\to {e}^{-{t}^{2}/2}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{as}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}n\to \infty \phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{for}\phantom{\rule{4.pt}{0ex}}\text{all}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}t$

By the convergence theorem on characteristic functions, above, ${F}_{n}\left(t\right)\to \Phi \left(t\right)$ .

$\square$

The theorem says that the distribution functions for sums of increasing numbers of the X i converge to the normal distribution function, but it does not tell how fast. It is instructive to consider some examples, which are easily worked out with the aid of our m-functions.

Demonstration of the central limit theorem

Discrete examples

We first examine the gaussian approximation in two cases. We take the sum of five iid simple random variables in each case. The first variable has six distinct values; thesecond has only three. The discrete character of the sum is more evident in the second case. Here we use not only the gaussian approximation, but the gaussian approximationshifted one half unit (the so called continuity correction for integer-values random variables). The fit is remarkably good in either case with only five terms.

A principal tool is the m-function diidsum (sum of discrete iid random variables). It uses a designated number of iterations of mgsum.

## First random variable

X = [-3.2 -1.05 2.1 4.6 5.3 7.2];PX = 0.1*[2 2 1 3 1 1];EX = X*PX' EX = 1.9900VX = dot(X.^2,PX) - EX^2 VX = 13.0904[x,px] = diidsum(X,PX,5); % Distribution for the sum of 5 iid rvF = cumsum(px); % Distribution function for the sum stairs(x,F) % Stair step plothold on plot(x,gaussian(5*EX,5*VX,x),'-.') % Plot of gaussian distribution function% Plotting details (see [link] )

## Second random variable

X = 1:3; PX = [0.3 0.5 0.2]; EX = X*PX'EX = 1.9000 EX2 = X.^2*PX'EX2 = 4.1000 VX = EX2 - EX^2VX = 0.4900 [x,px]= diidsum(X,PX,5); % Distribution for the sum of 5 iid rv F = cumsum(px); % Distribution function for the sumstairs(x,F) % Stair step plot hold onplot(x,gaussian(5*EX,5*VX,x),'-.') % Plot of gaussian distribution function plot(x,gaussian(5*EX,5*VX,x+0.5),'o') % Plot with continuity correction% Plotting details (see [link] )

As another example, we take the sum of twenty one iid simple random variables with integer values. We examine only part of the distribution function where most of theprobability is concentrated. This effectively enlarges the x-scale, so that the nature of the approximation is more readily apparent.

## Sum of twenty-one iid random variables

X = [0 1 3 5 6];PX = 0.1*[1 2 3 2 2];EX = dot(X,PX) EX = 3.3000VX = dot(X.^2,PX) - EX^2 VX = 4.2100[x,px] = diidsum(X,PX,21);F = cumsum(px); FG = gaussian(21*EX,21*VX,x);stairs(40:90,F(40:90)) hold onplot(40:90,FG(40:90)) % Plotting details (see [link] )

Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net

what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
Bharti
do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes

Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
there is no specific books for beginners but there is book called principle of nanotechnology

what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
carbon nanotubes has various application in fuel cells membrane, current research on cancer drug,and in electronics MEMS and NEMS etc
NANO
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.

Do you know which machine is used to that process?
s.
how to fabricate graphene ink ?
for screen printed electrodes ?
