Abstract

We consider a stationary sequence x1, x2, . . . , xt, . . . of random variables each of which takes values in the set . Let μr = μr(n, N) be the number of values in the set which occur r times in the first n elements of the sequence. In this paper, we obtain asymptotic formulas for the mean value Eμr(n, N) and the variance Dμr(n, N) and give sufficient conditions for asymptotic normality of the random variables μr(n, N) as n, N → ∞ under the condition that the sequence consists of m-dependent random variables and the parameters of the distribution of the sequence vary in the so-called central domain.
