The theorem of Shannon-McMillan-Breiman states that for every
generating partition on an ergodic system,
the exponential decay rate of the measure of cylinder sets
equals the metric entropy almost everywhere (provided the entropy is finite).
We show that the measure of cylinder sets are lognormally
distributed for strongly mixing systems and infinite partitions and show that the rate of convergence
is polynomial provided the fourth moment of the information function is finite.
We also show that it satisfies the almost sure invariance principle.
Unlike previous results by Ibragimov and others which only apply to finite partitions,
here we do not require any regularity of the conditional entropy function.
