- In the present paper, we derive Berry-Esseen bounds for the estimation of diversity indices on countable alphabets. A general non-asymptotic convergence rate is established for the plug-in estimator of a wide class of indices, including Simpson's index and Reńyi's entropy. For the practically crucial case of Shannon entropy, we provide explicit Berry-Esseen bounds for the standard plug-in estimator, as well as for two widely used bias-corrected variants, the Miller-Madow and the jackknife estimators.
