Symmetric and Centered Binomial Approximation of Sums of Locally Dependent Random Variables
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stein’s method is used to approximate sums of discrete and locally dependent random variables by a centered and symmetric Binomial distribution. Under appropriate smoothness properties of the summands, the same order of accuracy as in the Berry-Essen Theorem is achieved. The approximation of the total number of points of a point processes is also considered. The results are applied to the exceedances of the r-scans process and to the Matérn hardcore point process type I.

متن کاملNormal Approximation for Coverage Models over Binomial Point Processes by Larry Goldstein
We give error bounds which demonstrate optimal rates of convergence in the CLT for the total covered volume and the number of isolated shapes, for germ-grain models with fixed grain radius over a binomial point process of n points in a toroidal spatial region of volume n. The proof is based on Stein's method via size-biased couplings. 1. Introduction. Given a collection of n independent uniform...
متن کاملCompound Poisson process approximation for locally dependent real valued random variables via a new coupling inequality
In this work we present a general and quite simple upper bound for the total variation distance dTV between any stochastic process (Xi)i2 de ned over a countable space , and a compound Poisson process on : This result is su¢ cient for proving weak convergence for any functional of the process (Xi)i2 when the real valued Xis are rarely nonzero and locally dependent. Our result is being establis...
