We present the case of a giant oesophageal GIST presenting with prominent clubbing. T...

Clubbed Binomial Approximation for the Lightbulb Process

In the so called lightbulb process, on days r = 1, . . . ,n, out of n lightbulbs, all initially off, exactly r bulbs selected uniformly and independent of the past have their status changed from off to on, or vice versa. With Wn the number of bulbs on at the terminal time n and Cn a suitable clubbed binomial distribution, dTV(Wn,Cn)≤ 2.7314 √ ne−(n+1)/3 for all n≥ 1. The result is shown using S...
