Compound Poisson Approximation For Dissociated Random Variables Via Stein's Method
In the present paper we consider compound Poisson approximation by Stein’s method for dissociated random variables. We present some applications to problems in system reliability. In particular, our examples have the structure of an incomplete U-statistics. We mainly apply techniques from Barbour and Utev, who gave new bounds for the solutions of the Stein equation in compound Poisson approxima...
متن کاملCompound Poisson process approximation
Compound Poisson processes are often useful as approximate models, when describing the occurrence of rare events. In this paper, we develop a method for showing how close such approximations are. Our approach is to use Stein's method directly, rather than by way of declumping and a marked Poisson process; this has conceptual advantages, but entails technical difficulties. Several applications a...
متن کاملA Compound Poisson Approximation Inequality
We give conditions under which the number of events which occur in a sequence of m-dependent events is stochastically smaller than a suitably defined compound Poisson random variable. The results are applied to counts of sequence pattern appearances and to system reliability. We also provide a numerical example.
متن کاملOn Compound Poisson Approximation For Sequence Matching
Consider the sequences fX i g m i=1 and fY i g n j=1 of independent random variables , which take values in a nite alphabet, and assume that the variables X 1 ; X 2 ; : : : and Y 1 ; Y 2 ; : : : follow the distributions and , respectively. Two variables X i and Y j are said to match if X i = Y j. Let the number of matching subsequences of length k between the two sequences, when r, 0 r < k, mis...
متن کاملCompound Poisson approximation: a user’s guide
Compound Poisson approximation is a useful tool in a variety of applications, including insurance mathematics, reliability theory, and molecular sequence analysis. In this paper, we review the ways in which Stein's method can currently be used to derive bounds on the error in such approximations. The theoretical basis for the construction of error bounds is systematically discussed, and a numbe...
