Next: Theorem 10
Up: The Asymptotic Frequency Distribution
Previous: Corollary 8
Let Hm(x) and w(x) be, respectively, a proper frequency
distribution and a proper W-function which possesses the
interrelationship
![\begin{displaymath}
H_m (x) = e^{-w(x)} \sum^{m-1}_{k=0} \frac{[w(x)]^k}{k!}\end{displaymath}](img430.gif)
for m finite. Let an > 0 and bn,
, be a
sequence of real constants. Then,
![\begin{displaymath}
n \left[ 1 - F (a_n x + b_n) \right] \Rightarrow w(x),\end{displaymath}](img427.gif)
if and only if for finite m,

Proof: The theorem is an immediate consequence of Theorems
6 and 7.
