Approximated distributions of the weighted sum of correlated chi-squared random variables

We study the asymptotic behavior of the weighted sum of correlated chi-squared random variables. Both chi-squared and normal distributions are proved to approximate the exact distribution. These two approximations are established by matching the first two cumulants. Simulation comparison is made to study the performance of two approximations numerically. We find that the chi-squared approximation performs better than the normal one in the study.
