CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM FOR ASSOCIATED RANDOM VARIABLE

In this paper we investigate an functional central limit theorem for a nonstatioary d-parameter array of associated random variables applying the crite-rion of the tightness condition in Bickel and Wichura[1971]. Our results imply an extension to the nonstatioary case of invariance principle of Burton and Kim(1988) and analogous results for the d-dimensional associated random measure. These re-sults are also applied to show a new functional central limit theorem for Poisson cluster random variables.
