Multivariate normal approximation in geometric probability
x ξxδx where the sum is over points x of a Poisson point process of intensity λ on a bounded region in d-space, and ξx is a functional determined by the Poisson points near to x, i.e. satisfying an exponential stabilization condition, along with a moments condition (examples include statistics for proximity graphs, germ-grain models and random sequential deposition models). A known general resu...
متن کاملTotal variation approximation for quasi-equilibrium distributions, II
Quasi-stationary distributions, as discussed by Darroch & Seneta (1965), have been used in biology to describe the steady state behaviour of population models which, while eventually certain to become extinct, nevertheless maintain an apparent stochastic equilibrium for long periods. These distributions have some drawbacks: they need not exist, nor be unique, and their calculation can present p...

متن کاملTotal variation error bounds for geometric approximation
We develop a new formulation of Stein’s method to obtain computable upper bounds on the total variation distance between the geometric distribution and a distribution of interest. Our framework reduces the problem to the construction of a coupling between the original distribution and the “discrete equilibrium” distribution from renewal theory. We illustrate the approach in four nontrivial exam...
