Moderate Deviations in Poisson Approximation: a First Attempt
نویسندگان
چکیده
Poisson approximation using Stein’s method has been extensively studied in the literature. The main focus has been on bounding the total variation distance. This paper is a first attempt on moderate deviations in Poisson approximation for right-tail probabilities of sums of dependent indicators. We obtain results under certain general conditions for local dependence as well as for size-bias coupling. These results are then applied to independent indicators, 2-runs, and the matching problem.

Large Deviations Associated with Poisson–dirichlet Distribution and Ewens Sampling Formula
Several results of large deviations are obtained for distributions that are associated with the Poisson–Dirichlet distribution and the Ewens sampling formula when the parameter θ approaches infinity. The motivation for these results comes from a desire of understanding the exact meaning of θ going to infinity. In terms of the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem, the limiting proc...
متن کاملOn the bounds in Poisson approximation for independent geometric distributed random variables
The main purpose of this note is to establish some bounds in Poisson approximation for row-wise arrays of independent geometric distributed random variables using the operator method. Some results related to random sums of independent geometric distributed random variables are also investigated.
متن کاملModerate Deviations for Shortest-path Lengths on Random Segment Processes
We consider first-passage percolation on segment processes and provide concentration results concerning moderate deviations of shortest-path lengths from a linear function in the distance of their endpoints. The proofs are based on a martingale technique developed by H. Kesten for an analogous problem on the lattice. Our results are applicable to graph models from stochastic geometry. For examp...
متن کاملDelta Method in Large Deviations and Moderate Deviations for Estimators by Fuqing
The delta method is a popular and elementary tool for deriving limiting distributions of transformed statistics, while applications of asymptotic distributions do not allow one to obtain desirable accuracy of approximation for tail probabilities. The large and moderate deviation theory can achieve this goal. Motivated by the delta method in weak convergence, a general delta method in large devi...
متن کاملA Recursive Approximation Approach of non-iid Lognormal Random Variables Summation in Cellular Systems
Co-channel interference is a major factor in limiting the capacity and link quality in cellular communications. As the co-channel interference is modeled by lognormal distribution, sum of the co-channel interferences of neighboring cells is represented by the sum of lognormal Random Variables (RVs) which has no closed-form expression. Assuming independent, identically distributed (iid) RVs, the...
