Central limit theorems (CLTs) have a long history in probability and statistics. They play a fundamental role in constructing valid statistical inference procedures. Over the last century, various techniques have been developed in probability and statistics to prove CLTs under a variety of assumptions on random variables. Quantitative versions of CLTs (e.g., Berry–Esseen bounds) have also been parallelly developed. In this article, we propose to use approximation theory from functional analysis to derive explicit bounds on the difference between expectations of functions.
