Abstract

We correct a condition in a result of Johnson and Samworth (Bernoulli 11 (2005) 829–845) concerning convergence to stable laws in Mallows distance. We also give an improved version of this result, setting it in the more familiar context of a Lindeberg-like condition.

Keywords: Lindeberg condition; Mallows distance; stable laws
