Abstract

We attempt to relate the domains of partial attraction for sums of i.i.d. random variables to some properties of a generalised regular variation. We give a new characterisation of the domain of partial attraction of the normal distribution and new sufficient conditions for a distribution to belong to a domain of partial attraction.
