Using the Stein-Chen method some upper bounds in Poisson approximation for distributions of row-wise triangular arrays of independent negative-binomial distributed random variables are established in this note.
full textPoisson Approximation for Sums of Dependent Bernoulli Random Variables
In this paper, we use the Stein-Chen method to determine a non-uniform bound for approximating the distribution of sums of dependent Bernoulli random variables by Poisson distribution. We give two formulas of non-uniform bounds and their applications.
full textCompound 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...
full textOn the minimum of independent geometrically distributed random variables
The expectations E[X(1)], E[Z(1)], and E[Y(1)] of the minimum of n independent geometric, modified geometric, or exponential random variables with matching expectations differ. We show how this is accounted for by stochastic variability and how E[X(1)]/E[Y(1)] equals the expected number of ties at the minimum for the geometric random variables. We then introduce the “shifted geometric distribut...
full textLocal Tail Bounds for Functions of Independent Random Variables
It is shown that functions defined on {0, 1, . . . , r − 1}n satisfying certain conditions of bounded differences that guarantee subgaussian tail behavior also satisfy a much stronger “local” subgaussian property. For self-bounding and configuration functions we derive analogous locally subexponential behavior. The key tool is Talagrand’s (1994) variance inequality for functions defined on the ...
