Abstract:
Estimates are presented for the rate of convergence of the distributions of special sums of independent identically
distributed random variables with finite variances to symmetric strictly stable laws. The distribution of the random
index is assumed to be mixed Poisson in which the mixing distribution is a stable law concentrated on the positive
half-line. The absolute constants are written out explicitly.
