– The optimal coupling between a variable with the Bin(n,1/2) distribution and a normal random variable lies at the heart of the proof of the KMT Theorem for the empirical distribution function. Tusnády’s Lemma (published in 1977 in his dissertation and in Hungarian) provides an inequality with explicit absolute constants which says that for this coupling, the distance between the random variab...
