Abstract

We show that all moments of the partial sum process of a test function g along the paths of a V-uniformly ergodic Markov chain converge to the corresponding moments of a normal variable. For the n-th moment to converge, g^n must be bounded by a constant times V. We also derive starting-point dependent bounds on the rate of convergence.
