### Convergence of moments in a Markov-chain central limit theorem

Abstract:

Let (Xi)i=0∞ be a V-uniformly ergodic Markov chain on a general state space, and let π be its stationary distribution. For g : χ → R, define It is shown that if |g| ≤ V1/n for a positive integer n, then ExWk(g)n converges to the n-th moment of a normal random variable with expectation 0 and variance This extends the existing Markov-chain central limit theorems, according to which expectations of bounded functionals of Wk(g) converge. We also derive nonasymptotic bounds for the error in approx...
