Uniform asymptotics of Poisson approximation to the Poisson-binomial distribution

چکیده
New uniform asymptotic approximations with error bounds are derived for a generalized total variation distance of Poisson approximations to the Poisson-binomial distribution. The method of proof is also applicable to other Poisson approximation problems. MSC 2000 Subject Classifications: Primary 62E17; secondary 60C05.

A continuous approximation fitting to the discrete distributions using ODE
The probability density functions fitting to the discrete probability functions has always been needed, and very important. This paper is fitting the continuous curves which are probability density functions to the binomial probability functions, negative binomial geometrics, poisson and hypergeometric. The main key in these fittings is the use of the derivative concept and common differential ...
متن کاملON MODALITY AND DIVISIBILITY OF POISSON AND BINOMIAL MIXTURES
Some structural aspects of mixtures, in general, have been previously investigated by the author in [I] and [2]. The aim of this article is to investigate some important structural properties of the special cases of Poisson and binomial mixtures in detail. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are arrived at for different modality and divisibility properties of a Poisson mixture based o...
متن کاملA Nonuniform Bound for the Approximation of Poisson Binomial by Poisson Distribution
It is well known that Poisson binomial distribution can be approximated by Poisson distribution. In this paper, we give a nonuniform bound of this approximation by using Stein-Chen method.
متن کاملOn Computing the Distribution Function for the Sum of Independent and Non-identical Random Indicators
The Poisson binomial distribution is the distribution of the sum of independent and non-identical random indicators. Each indicator follows a Bernoulli distribution with individual success probability. When all success probabilities are equal, the Poisson binomial distribution is a binomial distribution. The Poisson binomial distribution has many applications in different areas such as reliabil...
متن کاملZero inflated Poisson and negative binomial regression models: application in education
Background: The number of failed courses and semesters in students are indicatorsof their performance. These amounts have zero inflated (ZI) distributions. Using ZI Poisson and negative binomial distributions we can model these count data to find the associated factors and estimate the parameters. This study aims at to investigate the important factors related to the educational performance of ...
