A bound on the rate of convergence in the central limit theorem for renewal processes under second moment conditions

A famous result in renewal theory is the Central Limit Theorem for renewal processes. As in applications usually only observations from a finite time interval are available, a bound on the Kolmogorov distance to the normal distribution is desirable. Here we provide an explicit non-uniform bound for the Renewal Central Limit Theorem based on Stein's method and track the explicit values of the constants. For this bound the inter-arrival time distribution is required to have only a second moment. As an intermediate result of independent interest we obtain explicit bounds in a non-central Berry-Ess\'{e}n theorem under second moment conditions.
