Abstract

Motivated by and with the aim of generalizing (Bar-Lev and Enis, 1987), we identify various limit laws of certain centralizing transformations of families of random variables by establishing a nontrivial equivalence with limits of their Laplace-Stieltjes transforms evaluated at transformed values.
