Abstract

We establish a Berry-Esseen theorem for random walks conditioned to stay positive under P+ (the probability by Doob’s h-transform), which quantifies the convergence rate in the Kolmogorov distance of the central limit theorem proved by Bryn-Jones and Doney (2006). Our approach is based on a recent analogous result by Grama and Xiao (2021) for random walks conditioned to stay positive over a finite time interval.
