Effective-dimension bounds in the central limit theorem for centered Euclidean balls

We establish a nonasymptotic Gaussian approximation bound over centered Euclidean balls for sums of independent, not necessarily identically distributed, random vectors in \(\mathbb R^p\). Let \(S_n\) denote the sum, let \(\Sigma=\operatorname{Var}(S_n)\), and let \(G\sim N(0,\Sigma)\). Define the effective rank and th...
