  title={Convergence of binomial to normal: multiple proofs},
  author={Subhash C. Bagui and K. L. Mehra},

}
This article presents four different proofs of the convergence of the Binomial ( , ) B n p distribution to a limiting normal distribution, n. These contrasting proofs may not be all found together in a single book or an article in the statistical literature. Readers of this article would find the presentation informative and especially useful from the pedagogical standpoint. This review of proofs should be of interest to teachers and students of senior undergraduate courses in probability and…

On the asymptotic behavior of the $q$-analog of Kostant's partition function
Kostant's partition function counts the number of distinct ways to express a weight of a classical Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ as a sum of positive roots of $\mathfrak{g}$. We refer to each of these…
How to reuse existing annotated image quality datasets to enlarge available training data with new distortion types
TLDR
Results of the subjective experiments indicate that it may be possible to use information gained from older datasets to describe the perceived quality of more recent compression algorithms.

Convergence of Binomial, Poisson, Negative-Binomial, and Gamma to Normal Distribution: Moment Generating Functions Technique
In this article, we employ moment generating functions (mgf’s) of Binomial, Poisson, Negative-binomial and gamma distributions to demonstrate their convergence to normality as one of their parameters…
The Normal Approximation to the Binomial
This note presents a heuristic derivation of the central limit theorem for Bernoulli random variables. While not a proof, it lends insight into why the normal distribution approximates the binomial

TLDR
Muteism is often manifest in several members of a family derived from a com'mon, though not a deaf-and-dumb stock, and is more common in the rural than in the civic portions; and in the hilly than the flat districts.
