We show that there exists a sequence $\varepsilon_n\searrow0$ for which the following holds: Let K⊂ℝn be a compact, convex set with a non-empty interior. Let X be a random vector that is distributed uniformly in K. Then there exist a unit vector θ in ℝn, t0∈ℝ and σ>0 such that $$\sup_{A\subset\mathbb{R}}\left|\textit{Prob}\,\{\langle X,\theta\rangle\in A\}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma}}\int_Ae^{-\frac{(t - t_0)^2}{2\sigma^2}} dt\right|\leq\varepsilon_n,\qquad{(\ast)}$$ where the supremum runs over… CONTINUE READING
