摘要
We obtain sufficient criteria for central limit theorems (CLTs) for ergodic continuous-time Markov chains (CTMCs). We apply the results to establish CLTs for continuous-time single birth processes. Moreover, we present an explicit expression of the time average variance constant for a single birth process whenever a CLT exists. Several examples are given to illustrate these results.
