Title: Sample sizes and the central limit theorem: The Poisson distribution as an illustration.
Authors: Jolliffe, Ian T.
Abstract: Discusses the use of Poisson distributions to show that the central limit theorem is valid even for discrete and for highly skewed distributions. Application of the Poisson distribution on fairly modest sample sizes; Use of binomial distribution in sample sizes and central limit theorem.
