PEAKEDNESS OF DISTRIBUTIONS OF CONVEX COMBINATIONS

Abstract

This paper presents simple sufficient conditions under which the distribution of the sample average shows increasing peakedness with increasing sample size. The results are actually more general, permitting a comparison of the peakedness of distributions of various convex combinations of sample observations.
